Schwannomas are slow-growing, encapsulated, benign neoplasms originating from Schwann cells. Although these tumors are frequently asymptomatic, the most commonly reported symptoms include chest pain, back pain, dyspnea, and cough. In this report, we present a case of schwannoma treated surgically at our institution, with particular emphasis on the tumor’s size and the uncommon occurrence of cystic presentation.
