title: [A case of pulmonary schwannoma].
abstract: Intrapulmonary neurogenic tumors are extremely rare. The first observation was reported by Rubin and Aronson in 1940, subsequently 40 cases were identified. Even if this tumor has a neurogenic origin it does not often have symptoms and to get diagnosis it's necessary surgical excission and histological study. Because of identification and differential diagnosis often of the tumor is very important for patient's prognosis, the authors present a case that they have observed.
