Six of them were neurilemmomas, three neurofibromas associated with von Recklinghausen's disease, two ganglioneuromas and two paragangliomas (chemodectomas). Representative cases were reported in detail in conjunction with considerations regarding diagnosis, treatment, and histopathologic findings by reviewing pertinent papers.
