- Abstract
Schwannomas are slow growing, benign, nerve sheath tumours of Schwann cell origin. They predominantly involve head, neck and flexor surfaces of upper and lower extremities, while the chest wall is an uncommon location for schwannomas. Schwannomas may rarely cause erosion of adjacent bone. We are reporting a very rare case of a chest wall schwannoma with destruction of rib which occurred in a 35-yearold female patient, which initially presented as a breast mass and was radiologically misinterpreted as a malignant soft tissue tumour.
