Abstract

Schwannomas are uncommon benign nerve sheath tumors and often arise in the posterior mediastinum and costovertebral angle. However, endobronchial schwannomas are rare. In fact, there are only a few reported cases in the literature. Here, we describe a case of an endobronchial schwannoma causing obstruction of the right upper lobe bronchus.
