Benign posterior mediastinal schwannoma—Multiple diagnostic imaging modalities

Schwannoma is usually benign, encapsulated spindle cell tumor which arises from schwann cells of nerve sheath, and is the most common of the neurogenic mediastinal tumors. Various imaging modalities can be applied to assess posterior mediastinal mass which is often found incidentally without symptom and frequently misdiagnosed for other benign conditions both clinically and radiologically in which clinicians should be aware of.
