Schwannoma are relatively rare tumor and even rarer in children. Nerve sheath tumors arising from the cervical nerve are extremely rare. We report a 13-year old boy presented with a history of an asymptomatic right cervical swelling since one year. An ultrasound and FNAC revealed schwannoma. He was meticulously evaluated with MRI. Surgical excision of the lesion was carried out and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Patient recovered completely without any morbidity. We are presenting this case since it is a rare case and patient recovered without morbidity. It is possible to do the complete surgical excision of schwannoma with complete cure and without complication.
神经鞘瘤相对罕见，在儿童中更为罕见。起源于颈神经的神经鞘瘤极其罕见。我们报告一名13岁男孩，有自一年前开始的无症状性右侧颈部肿物病史。超声和细针穿刺抽吸活检显示为神经鞘瘤。对他进行了细致的磁共振成像评估。对该病变进行了手术切除，组织病理学检查确诊了诊断。患者完全康复，无任何并发症。我们呈现此病例是因为它很罕见，且患者康复无并发症。完全有可能对神经鞘瘤进行完整的手术切除并实现完全治愈且无并发症。
