Schwannoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall, in a 36-year-old male patient is presented demonstrating the asymptomatic nature of the tumour (which is peculiar to schwannomas). The tumour gradually increased in size, destroyed the body of the third cervical vertebra but remained asymptomatic. The patient only presented to hospital when the tumour obstructed the airway, because of its large size.
本文报告了一名36岁男性患者的咽后壁神经鞘瘤，显示出该肿瘤无症状的特性（这是神经鞘瘤所特有的）。肿瘤逐渐增大，破坏了第三颈椎体，但仍无症状。由于肿瘤体积巨大，阻塞气道时患者才前往医院就诊。
