| Abstract: | A patient with a schwannoma of the intrathoracic vagus nerve is presented. The tumor invaded the trachea and caused dyspnea. It was successfully excised by a segmental resection of the trachea with end-to-end anastomosis. This instance of an intrathoracic vagus tumor invading the trachea is, as far as we know, the first reported in the world. |
