  • Title: [Neurogenic tumor of the anterior mediastinum. An uncommon diagnosis: neurofibroma of the vagus].
    Author: Lantrade P, Herning R, Delmaire P, Flechaire A, Beydon L, Daly JP, Didier A, Laverdant C.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1983; 134(2):134-8. PubMed ID: 6410955.
    Abstract:
    Case report of an endothoracic neurofibroma of the left vagus nerve, presenting as an anterior mediastinal mass in a 62 years old man without other signs of Recklinghausen's disease. Rarity of such cases is noted. Previously published sixty one reports are studied. Only four are localised in anterior mediastinum. The authors emphasize absence of specific signs of vagal involvement, importance for diagnosis of surgical extirpation, and mildness of post operative course.
