[Neurogenic endothoracic tumours (author's transl)]. 1981

P Hertzog, and L Toty, and C Personne, and A Colchen, and J Belami

123 nervous thoracic tumours have been operated without immediate postoperative death. From 1964, 86 are the subject of a new study. 80 % were situated in the posterior gutter and were involving the sympathetic chain and intercostal-nerves. 20 % have an ectopic parietal, lateral, mediastinal or pulmonary site. 95 % are benign tumours, of which 59 % are schwannomas, 20 % neuro-fibromas, 17 % ganglio-neuromas. The conditions of their excision are discussed particularly relating to stud collar tumours which have an extension in or towards the intervertebral foramen, as well as endo-thoracic Recklinghausen tumours, numbering seven. The two patients operated of malignant tumours (schwanno-sarcomas) died of recurrency within 18 months.

D009442 Neurilemmoma A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.

D009455 Neurofibroma A moderately firm, benign, encapsulated tumor resulting from proliferation of SCHWANN CELLS and FIBROBLASTS that includes portions of nerve fibers. The tumors usually develop along peripheral or cranial nerves and are a central feature of NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1, where they may occur intracranially or involve spinal roots. Pathologic features include fusiform enlargement of the involved nerve. Microscopic examination reveals a disorganized and loose cellular pattern with elongated nuclei intermixed with fibrous strands.
