title: [Neurogenic sarcoma of the vagal nerve].
abstract: A rare case of neurogenic sarcoma of the vagal nerve was presented. Ten cases of such location have been described so far. Neurogenic sarcoma derives from supported elements of peripheral nerves. Its development is asymptomatic and usually the first manifestation is the occurrence of the tumour. This kind of disease is local malignant neoplasm, but it can give metastases, and then the prognosis is significantly worse. The modern treatment is radiotherapy with preceding radical dissection.
