%X A 43-year-old woman presented with a right-sided ptosis, miosis and facial anhidrosis. She was aware of her ptosis for the past year but did not seek for medical attention. Cocaine test was positive for Horner¡¯s syndrome. A mass lesion was detected in the upper part of the posterior mediastinum. Surgical resection was performed and the histopathologic examination was compatible with a schwannoma. The most common tumors associated with Horner¡¯s syndrome are lung (Pancoast) and breast cancers. Horner¡¯s syndrome is not an early sign of these tumors. Mediastinal schwannoma has been reported in rare cases presented with Horner¡¯s syndrome.
