Up to 10% of neurogenic tumors in the posterior mediastinum demonstrate intraspinal extension. Historically, these lesions have been considered resectable only by a combined thoracic and neurosurgical approach using thoracotomy. Herein, a thoracoscopic excision of a "dumbbell" lesion within the framework of a combined approach is described.
