Abstract

A case of Schwannoma arising asynchronously in the right second intercostal nerve and right brachial plexus is presented. A 44-year-old man who had received surgery of Schwannoma of the right second intercostal nerve 9 years earlier was found to have an semi-round shadow of the right apex on a chest X-ray. Exploratory thoracotomy revealed a Schwannoma arising in the right brachial plexus. Tumorectomy was performed with additional supraclavicular approach. Postoperative neurological deficit improved in 7 months.
