Supraclavicular schwannomas are very rare benign tumours. We present the case of a 30-year-old middle-eastern man who complained of a gradually enlarging, asymptomatic 2cm non-tender swelling in the right supraclavicular fossa. There were no other symptoms suggestive of systemic disease. Ultrasound imaging was suggestive of an abnormal lymph node, but fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump was inconclusive. Subsequent urgent excision biopsy of the lump on histology revealed it to be a benign schwannoma. On post-operative follow-up, the patient did not have any neurological deficit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
