[A case of multiple inthorathoracic neurilemmoma with cutaneous lesions].
A 33-year-old man with right inguinal mass was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on his chest X-ray film. Surgery was performed. These tumors originating from the right 7th, 8th intercostal and right cutaneous femoralis nerve were removed. Histologically, excised tumors were diagnosed as neurilemmoma. There had been only 4 cases of inthorathoracic multiple neurilemmoma with skin lesion, in Japan. We reviewed and discussed the Japanese literature.
