[Lateral cervical tumor of neural etiology: cervical schwannoma].
Schwannoma are benign tumors of the nerve sheath arising from Schwann cells of cranial and spinal nerves. The most frequent sites are the peripheral nerves of the head and neck and the flexor surfaces of the upper extremities. Cervical schwannoma are rare, which makes them interesting to ENT-specialists. A new case of cervical schwannoma is reported, the literature is reviewed and the pathogenic, criteria and therapy are discussed.
