Abstract

Most tumors of the tracheobronchial tree are malignant, and benign tumors are less than 10%. Especially, the incidence of primary neurogenic tumors of the lung has been estimated to be less than 2 percent of primary lung cancer, and majority of these tumors are originated from Schwann cells. These tumors can be presented either as a solitary benign neoplasm or as a malignant form, which is rare. We present two cases of bronchial Schwannoma managed by means of lobectomy.
