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
