case_images: (A) Computed tomography (CT) showing the tumor located in the posterior mediastinum (white asterisks). (B) CT showing scoliosis with the tumor (black asterisks).

case_images: Cobb's technique was 73  on plain X-ray. Chest computed tomography revealed a neurofibroma in the posterior mediastinum (Fig. 1).
case_images: (A) Intraoperative findings showing the tumor's dark-red appearance, being located widely adjacent to the spine and surrounding tissues (white asterisks). (B) Macroscopic findings showing that the boundary between the tumor and surrounding tissues is unclear.

case_images: First, extirpation of the neurofibroma was performed by a posterolateral incision in the right lateral position (Fig. 2A). Posterior spinal fusion with segmental spinal instrumentation for scoliosis were then performed by a middle incision in the prone position (Fig. 2B).
case_images: (A) Immunohistochemical staining showing the tumor stained by S-100. (B) Immunohistochemical staining showing the tumor stained by CD34.

case_images: Pathological examination revealed that the tumor was stained by S-100 and CD34, therefore the tumor was diagnosed with neurofibroma (Fig. 3A, B).
case_images: Postoperative plain X-ray showing improvement in the scoliosis.
