Neurogenic tumors in the mediastinum account for approximately 20-30% of all types of mediastinal tumors in adults. This pathology is usually benign and has no or very few symptoms. Schwannoma rarely involves the phrenic nerve. We report a unique case of schwannoma involvement of phrenic nerve. Case Presentation. The 43-year-old female patient has an annual check-up of computerized tomography to detect the mass in the right middle mediastinum, so the patient was admitted to the hospital. Chest computerized tomography image found a mass of the middle mediastinum with the size of <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mn>23<\/a:mn>\n                        <a:mo>\u00d7<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mn>22.3<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009mm located between the right pulmonary artery and the pericardium with uniform margins and clear boundaries, not invading the surrounding organization. Very little contrast is absorbed after injection. She underwent a uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and this mass was found to be originating from the right phrenic nerve. Resection of the portion of phrenic nerve with mass was performed. Postoperatively, the patient was discharged from the hospital after 4 days of treatment in a clinical condition with no difficulty breathing and no chest pain; postoperative X-ray showed no abnormality, and the right diaphragm was unchanged. Conclusion. Although they are very rare, schwannomas of the phrenic nerve should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors. Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a preeminent option with properly sized tumors that deliver good results and have no postoperative complications associated with surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/3276843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]],"date-time":"2021-08-10T21:05:08Z","timestamp":1628629508000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Rare Condition of Intrathoracic Phrenic Nerve Schwannoma Successfully Treated with Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2862-3184","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lu Huu","family":"Pham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kinh Quoc","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Anesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care, Viet Duc University Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hung Quoc","family":"Doan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lanh Sy","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Viet Duc University Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8184-7750","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ha Thi-Ngoc","family":"Doan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hanoi Medical University, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"2489","article-title":"Overview of Primary Mediastinal Tumors and Cysts","volume-title":"General Thoracic Surgery","author":"T.
