Abstract

Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is a benign tumour arising from the nerve-sheath, with spinal nerve roots being the most common primary location. Though neurogenic tumours are common in the mediastinum, primary neurogenic tumours arising from lung parenchyma are very rare. Here we report a case of a primary lung schwannoma and its management.
