Abstract
We report a 73-year-old man who presented with dyspnea that was caused by a huge and single cystic cellular schwannoma in the left chest. He underwent radical tumor excision by a thoracotomy. The patient is doing well, without evidence of recurrence, 8 months after surgical resection. ? 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
