Abstract
I report an extremely rare case of schwannoma of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in a 32-year-old female presenting with neck swelling for seven months. Computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated right neck mass located inferiomedial to the thyroid lobe between the right carotid and right jugular vein medially and laterally respectively with heterogeneous enhancement suggestive of a neurogenic tumor. The immunohistochemistry was strongly positive for S-100 but negative for smooth muscle actin (SMA). Excision of the schwannoma was carried out and the patient had an uneventful postoperative period and recovery.
