  ABSTRACT: Neurofibroma arising from intrathoracic vagus nerve is a rare entity. We present a 6-year-old child with stigmata of neurofibromatosis along with a lump in the back. She also had history of on and off cough. On investigation there was a large mediastinal mass abutting the trachea. She underwent a posterolateral thoracotomy with partial resection of the lump. Intraoperatively the mass appeared to arise from the vagus nerve. Post operative stay was uneventful. Biopsy of the mass revealed a benign neurofibroma with no evidence of invasion. She is presently asymptomatic after 1 year of follow-up.
