description BACKGROUND: Schwannoma is the most common mediastinal neurogenic tumor, while schwannoma originating from mediastinal vagus nerve is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: This article reported one case of schwannoma originating from vagus nerve in the right superior mediastinum. The mediastinal schwannoma was completely resected through a right-sided video-assisted thoracoscopic thoracotomy. Histologic examination clarified the diagnosis as schwannoma. CONCLUSION: Chest CT scan and MRI can be used to determine the location of mediastinal schwannoma and its relationship with adjacent tissue. Histologic examination showing distinctive feature of Antoni A areas and Antoni B areas can help clarify the diagnosis. Complete surgical resection is the first-line treatment option for mediastinal schwannomas.
