title: [Malignant schwannoma of the neck].
abstract: Malignant schwannoma (MS) is a tumor of the peripheral nervous system, extremely rare when settled in head and neck. Conversely these two are preferable locations for benign schwannomata. We report a feminine patient, 74-year-old, with a right laterocervical massa, evolving in 3 months, surgically removed and postoperative radiotherapeutic treatment, which remains asymptomatic since one year and a half.
