title: [A case of neurofibromatosis 2 combined with a vagal neurilemmoma in the mediastinum].
abstract: A 39-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of an abnormal mediastinal shadow on chest X-ray film. CT scan of the chest showed a cyst-like tumor in the mediastinum. CT scan of the brain to investigate the impairment of hearing revealed bilateral cerebropontine angle tumors. Histological examination of both tumors revealed neurilemmoma. Neurofibromatosis 2 combined with a vagal neurilemmoma in the mediastinum is very rare.
