CTICasesSchwannoma
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph and CT show a well-circumscribed, heterogeneous, non-calcified soft tissue mass in the right posterior paraspinal mediastinum, causing smooth pressure erosion and beveling of the adjacent vertebral bodies.
Key takeaways
Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that represent the most common posterior mediastinal neoplasm. Due to their slow growth, they characteristically cause smooth pressure remodeling or beveling of the adjacent bones over years, indicating their benign and chronic nature.
