Abstract
A 33-year-old woman was admitted due to sudden-onset dyspnea and right-sided chest pain. Imaging studies revealed a right-sided hemothorax and an hyperdense mass of the posterior mediastinum. A monobloc and complete tumor resection was done by thoracotomy.The diagnosis of a neurofibroma was confirmed by the pathological exam. A careful examination of the patient did not suggest any signs of von Recklinghausen’s disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of spontaneous massive hemothorax secondary to a neurofibroma in non-von Recklinghausen’s disease. Keywords: Hemothorax; neurofibroma; neurofibromatosis.
