A 24-years-old woman was referred with the complaints of palpabl mass in the chest wall. Postero-anterior lung radiography showed well-demarcated opacity along with the ninth intercostal space and mediastinal enlargement. A chest computed tomographic scan showed tumor along with the ninth intercostal nevre and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Excision of the chest wall tumor was performed. We performed sampling of the mediastinal lymph nodes thoracoscopically in the same session from the same incision. The tumor was diagnosed as a schwannoma and these lymph nodes were diagnosed as a hodgkin's lymphoma with frozen section examination. We present this case with a literature review, as we did not find any other case of intrathoracic schwannoma arising from intercostal nerve diagnosed simultaneously with hodgkin's lymphoma in the literature search.
