Abstract

Schwannomas are solitary, slow growing benign tumors arising from the Schwann cells that form the myelin sheath around the peripheral nerves. Head and neck is the commonest site of these tumors in the body. We present a case of schwannoma in a 35 years old man who had a painless slowly growing tumor in the right side of his neck.

Key Words: Schwannoma, FNAC, parapharyngeal space.
