[Phrenic nerve malignant schwannoma: an exceptional diagnosis].
We report a case of malignant schwannoma of left phrenic nerve in a 65-year-old man. This uncommon diagnosis was suggested by radiological features and confirmed by histological findings on a needle biopsy and surgery specimens. We discuss management, follow-up and prognosis of malignant schwannomas.
