摘要
malignant neurogenic mediastinal tumors in adults are uncommon and extremely aggressive. we report the case of a 61-year-old male patient with the simultaneous occurrence of malignant mediastinal schwannoma and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. although bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is present in 4-7% of the resected synchronous thoracic tumors, this association has never been reported in the literature. however, it is a common finding in patients presenting apparently inflammatory infiltrates and ground-glass opacities, as in the case presented here.
