[Schwannoma in the brachial plexus resected by thoracoscopic approach].
A 50-year-old male was detected an abnormal shadow in the right apical region by chest X-ray examination. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings suggested the mass to be a neurogenic tumor. The tumor was originated from lower brachial plexus and enuclated by thoracoscopic approach with no major nerve damage. The pathological finding was benign schwannoma.
