title: A rare case of cellular schwannoma in the pharynx.
abstract: Cellular schwannomas in pharyngeal region are rare. These tumors histologically mimic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors because of their growth pattern, high cellularity and mitotic activity, but they are relatively benign tumors with a tendency to recur but do not metastasize.
