Abstract
- Neurilemmoma, also called schwanomma, neurinoma, and perineural fibroblastoma is a rare benign tumor originated from the schwann cell of nerve sheath. They occur commonly at 20-50 aged person and involved the head and neck and flexor surface of the extremity. Histologically, they are characterized by Antoni A and Antoni B tissue composed of high and low cellularity. Primary neurilemmoma involved in the bronchial wall is extremely rare and few cases have been reported previously. We experienced neurilemmoma of the bronchial wall in a 72 year old woman The pulmonary radiology showed the right middle lobe collapse with single lymphadenopathy, and bronchoscopic biopsy was performed to confirm the neurilemmoma.
