Nerve sheath tumors arising from the cervical vagus nerve are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. We report a 14-year-old boy who presented with a several month history of an asymptomatic right cervical swelling. Ultrasound and fine needle aspiration cytology revealed a vascular lesion. He was meticulously evaluated with CT scan and digital subtraction angiography. Surgical excision of the lesion was carried out and histological examination revealed a schwannoma. Schwannoma is a relatively rare tumor and even rarer in children. The incidence of such tumors and the management of our patients are discussed.
起源于颈迷走神经的神经鞘瘤极其罕见且难以诊断。我们报告一名14岁男孩，他有几个月无症状性右颈部肿胀的病史。超声和细针穿刺细胞学检查显示为血管病变。对他进行了CT扫描和数字减影血管造影的详细评估。对病变进行了手术切除，组织学检查显示为神经鞘瘤。神经鞘瘤是一种相对罕见的肿瘤，在儿童中更为罕见。本文讨论了此类肿瘤的发病率及我们患者的治疗情况。
