One-Stage Combined Thoracic Ancient Schwannomas Total Removal and Coronary Artery Bypass

الملخص EN

Ancient schwannoma is a rare variant of neural tumors though rarely seen in the thorax.

The combination with coronary artery diseases is also rare.

Here we describe a 66 year-old male who had undergone one-stage combined surgery for thoracic ancient schwannomas removal and coronary artery disease.

The masses were, respectively, 13 cm in the middle mediastinum and 5 cm in diameter originating from the intercostal nerve.

The tumors were successfully removed using sternotomy, and then a coronary artery bypass grafting was performed.

Here we discuss this rare tumor in relation to the relevant literature.
