They are associated with the sympathetic neural chain, spinal cord, and intercostal nerves; so neurogenic tumors can be seen in any neural tissue. In both paravertebral sulci, they are reported in equal percentages. Out of all primary mediastinal tumors, 11–21% and 35–46% consist of neurogenic tumors in adults and children, respectively…
