Abstract

Cervical schwannoma is an uncommon benign tumor, posing diagnostic challenges that necessitate clinical and radiological assessments, ultimately confirmed through histological examination. The clinical presentation lacks pathognomonic features, often presenting as an isolated, asymptomatic lateral cervical mass that progressively enlarges. Imaging studies play a pivotal role in determining the tumor's size, para-pharyngeal location, and vascular relationships. The definitive diagnosis is established through histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. Complete excision of the tumor is the sole guarantee to prevent recurrence, offering an excellent prognosis with rare instances of relapse.
