Sixteen cases of schwannomata of the neck were included in this study. Clinical and pathological features were analysed. Pre-operative diagnosis was always difficult and was achieved in only three cases. The lesion should be suspected whenever examining the neck for a solitary swelling of long standing. Schwannomata of the cervical vagus or sympathetic chain usually bulge into the pharynx and present as parapharyngeal tumours. Neurological deficits were absolutely absent in our cases. Every attempt should be exerted to spare the involved nerve even on the expense of leaving behind a part of the tumour which is definitely benign and having practically no tendency for malignant change.
本研究纳入了16例颈部神经鞘瘤。分析了其临床和病理特征。术前诊断一直很困难，仅3例得以确诊。在检查颈部长期存在的孤立性肿物时，应怀疑有该病变。颈迷走神经或交感神经链的神经鞘瘤通常突入咽腔，表现为咽旁肿瘤。我们的病例中绝对没有神经功能缺损。即使以遗留一部分肯定为良性且几乎没有恶变倾向的肿瘤为代价，也应尽一切努力保留受累神经。
