123 nervous thoracic tumours have been operated without immediate postoperative death. From 1964, 86 are the subject of a new study. 80 % were situated in the posterior gutter and were involving the sympathetic chain and intercostal-nerves. 20 % have an ectopic parietal, lateral, mediastinal or pulmonary site. 95 % are benign tumours, of which 59 % are schwannomas, 20 % neuro-fibromas, 17 % ganglio-neuromas. The conditions of their excision are discussed particularly relating to stud collar tumours which have an extension in or towards the intervertebral foramen, as well as endo-thoracic Recklinghausen tumours, numbering seven. The two patients operated of malignant tumours (schwanno-sarcomas) died of recurrency within 18 months.
