[Malignant triton tumor of the posterior mediastinum treated by thoracoscopic approach. Apropos of a case].
A tumour of the posterior mediastinum was removed via thoracoscopy. The histology report was a triton tumour. This is a rare (less than 80 cases reported in the literature) malignant tumour of the nervous system: malignant schwannoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. The characteristics of this rare tumour and the consequences of videoassisted surgery in this specific case are discussed: a second access is required to widen the thoracotomy and complementary radiotherapy is needed.
