Schwannoma of The Cervical Vagus Nerve: A Case Report

Abstract

Nerve sheath tumors arising from the cervical vagus nerve is an uncommon benign nerve tumor. This tumor most often present as an asymptomatic solitary neck mass with slow growing and rare malignant transform. I report a 60-years-old male presented with a one year history of an asymtomtatic right cervical mass. FNA revealed a presence of few cluster of epitheloid to spindle cell. He was meticulously evaluated with CT scan. Surgical excision of the lesion was carried out and histological examination revealed a Schwannoma. The incidence of such tumor and the management of my patients are discussed.
