Abstract

Intercostal neuralgia is a rare condition that causes pain along the

intercostal nerves. Neural tumors of the chest mostly arise from

mediastinum and only less than 5-10% of primary tumors originate

from intercostal nerves. These patients are usually asymptomatic.

Herein, we report a 42-year-old male patient with severe intercostal

neuralgia due to the schwannoma of the chest wall. The patient

underwent surgical resection and his histopathological diagnosis

was a very rare type of schwannoma: ancient schwannoma.

Resecting the tumor relieved his pain
