Summary:Intrapulmonary or bronchial neurilemomas are rare neoplasms and there have been only 29 cases reported in the foreign and domestic literature. We experienced a case of neurilemoma of the right upper lobe in a 41-year-old male. The patient had no complaint but, a small coin lesion (1.2×1.4cm) was pointed out by chest X-ray examination. The tumor was diagnosed as neurilemoma by transbronchial lung biopsy and a right upper lobectomy was performed. He has remained asymptomatic in the 18 months after operation.
