    Abstract:
    A case of benign schwannoma originating from the lowest trunk of the left brachial plexus with intrathoracic extension was reported. Intrathoracic growth of a schwannoma of the brachial plexus has been reported in only 3 cases in the literature. The patient was a 53-year-old man and he was first found to have an abnormal shadow at the left lung apex on the chest roentogenogram. We performed a thoracotomy through the left third intercostal space with an axillary skin incision and removed the tumor completely. There was no neurological problem postoperatively
