Abstract
Schwannomas are uncommon and often benign neoplasms developing from the nerve sheath of the
peripheral nervous system. Thoracic schwannomas most often appear in the posterior mediastinum and
costovertebral angle. Pulmonary schwannomas are exceedingly rare and can present a diagnostic
challenge.Here we report a case of a solitary right-sided endobronchial schwannoma presenting with
progressive respiratory symptoms and discuss the clinical features, histopathological manifestations and
diagnostic considerations of this rare tumor.
