Posterior mediastinal schwannoma

Discussion:

Imaging appearances were suggestive of a neurogenic tumor. This was confirmed on histopathology (obtained via VATS). 

Histopathology: Sections show a well-circumscribed, partly encapsulated, paucicellular tumor containing thick walled hyalinised vessels, areas of hemorrhage and dystrophic calcification. Tumor cells show mild nuclear atypia with focal Verocay body formation. Tumor cells stain S-100 positive, whilst they are negative for Neu-N, NFP and CD34. Histological and immunohistochemical features are those of an ancient schwannoma
