Schwannoma of Small Branch of Cervical Nerve: A Rare Case Repot
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
A 17-year-old male presented with a swelling in the neck for 6 yrs. Neuroimaging showed a heterogeneous mass extending from the mandible to the clavicle splaying the major neck vessels without intracranial extension. FNAC was inconclusive. A probable diagnosis of neurofi broma was made. Total surgical excision was done. Histopathological diagnosis of Schwannoma was made. Here, we discuss the rare presentation of the neck mass and concluded that precise excision of the tumor is important avoiding vagal nerve injury, and intracranial extension needs to be ruled out.
