Abstract: | Schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor, and no cases of metastasis or implantation from this tumor have been reported. We first describe a case of port site recurrence after video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of chest wall schwannoma. She has been well with no evidence of disease for 2 years after resection of the recurrent tumor. We stress the importance of using a specimen bag and careful manipulation during video-assisted thoracic surgery, even for benign tumors. |
