Abstract EN
Nerve tumors arising from the sympathetic chain are uncommon slow-growing tumors and represent a diagnosis challenge.
Their malignant degeneration is rare.
Definitive pre-operative diagnosis may be difficult as investigations are not usually helpful.
We report the case of a 23-year old woman who presented with an asymptomatic solitary left cervical swelling.
She was evaluated with sonography and computed tomography.
Complete surgical excision of the lesion was carried out and histologic examination revealed a schwannoma.
Post-operatively, the patient showed clinical findings of Horner’s syndrome.
Pathologic and radiological evaluation, differential diagnosis of this neoplasm and its management are discussed.
