Diaphragmatic neurilemoma.
The fourth case of diaphragmatic neurilemoma reported in the English literature is presented from our institution. Diaphragmatic tumors are usually benign and most are symptomatic. Utilizing CT scanning, these tumors can today be accurately localized. Excision via thoracotomy or celiotomy is easily accomplished and is the only reliable way to establish the identity of these lesions.
