[A case of pulmonary neurilemmoma].
Intrapulmonary or bronchial neurilemmoma are rare neoplasms and there have been only 29 cases reported in the foreign and domestic literature. We experienced a case of neurilemmoma of the right upper lobe in a 41-year-old male. The patient had no complaint but, a small coin lesion (1.2 x 1.4 cm) was pointed out by chest X-ray examination. The tumor was diagnosed as neurilemmoma by transbronchial lung biopsy and a right upper lobectomy was performed. He has remained asymptomatic in the 18 months after operation.
