Schwannoma in The Head and Neck Region – A Case Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors arising from Schwann cells , with 25–45% occurring in the head and neck region. We report a rare case of a 47- year old male with a slowly enlarging , asymptomatic mass in the left posterolateral neck. MRI showed a well-defined 7 × 5 × 5 cm lesion, and surgical excision was performed with preservation of surrounding neurovascular structures. Histopathology confirmed schwannoma with typical Antoni A and B patterns and S-100 positivity. Complete excision led to full recovery with no neurological deficits. Schwannomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of well-circumscribed neck masses.
