متن کاملPlexiform schwannoma involving the trachea and recurrent laryngeal nerve: a case report

Although plexiform schwannoma has such growth patterns, it is a benign tumor as well as a conventional schwannoma. It rarely infiltrates adjacent organs or arises from the organ itself. In this report, we describe a case in which plexiform schwannoma involved the trache...
