[A case of superior mediastinal neurinoma resected from the supra-clavicular area].
We report a case of superior mediastinal neurinoma that was resected from the supra-clavicular area. An abnormal shadow on the chest X-ray film was pointed out in a 53-year-old male. A left supra-clavicular mass was subsequently also discovered. We underwent extirpation of the tumor through supra-clavicular approach and confirmed to be a neurinoma histologically. We consider supra-clavicular approach which allows a good view might be useful.
