Abstract EN
Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare entity among lesions presenting as a neck mass.
They are usually slow-growing benign lesions closely associated with the vagus nerve.
They are usually solitary and asymptomatic.
Multiple schwannomas occurring in patients without neurofibromatosis (NF) are rare and have recently been referred to as schwannomatosis.
Here, we present a case of a neck mass that had imaging features suggestive of vagal schwannoma and was operated upon.
Intraoperatively, it was discovered to be a case of multiple vagal cervical schwannoma, all directly related to the right vagus nerve, and could be resected from the nerve in toto preserving the function of the vagus nerve.
Final HPR confirmed our pre-op suspicion of vagal schwannomatosis.
