AbstractSome posterior mediastinal tumors can be safely resected with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), but the safety of resecting a dumbbell-shaped tumor has been questioned. This article reports the successful removal of a dumbbell-shaped cystic schwannoma at T4 using a posterior laminectomy and VATS, with the patient in the prone position.
