Schwannoma arising from vagal nerve is a rare tumour. It is a slow-growing, benign mass, but rarely it might undergo malignant transformation. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with asymptomatic Xth cranial nerve schwannoma in the left side of the neck. Initially, during the ultrasound examination, the tumour was misconceived to be a malignant lymph node. The patient underwent complete surgical excision of it. Histopathological examination revealed typical features of schwannoma. Clinical diagnose of cervical vagal nerve schwannoma is difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging is as an accurate diagnostic tool for these tumours. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
起源于迷走神经的神经鞘瘤是一种罕见肿瘤。它是一种生长缓慢的良性肿块，但很少会发生恶性转化。我们报告一例55岁女性，其左侧颈部有无症状的第十颅神经神经鞘瘤。最初，在超声检查时，该肿瘤被误诊为恶性淋巴结。患者接受了肿瘤的完整手术切除。组织病理学检查显示神经鞘瘤的典型特征。颈迷走神经神经鞘瘤的临床诊断困难。磁共振成像作为这些肿瘤的准确诊断工具。手术切除是首选治疗方法。
