“…The classical histopathological picture is one composed of antony A bodies which signify compact spindle cells and antony B bodies which compromise looser arranged schwann cells. 4 Adequate treatment involves complete removal of the lesion safeguarding the nerve involved. If it is impossible to find an adequate plane and is technically difficult to preserve the integrity of the nerve trunk, the involved segment may be resected and an end to end anastomosis performed using microsurgical techniques but may result in vocal nerve paralysis.…”

Cervical vagal schwannoma is an extremely rare entity, slow growing, solitary, asymptomatic benign neck mass associated with vagus nerve. Definitive pre-operative diagnosis may be difficult and investigations such as fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) have low specificity. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We describe a 26-yearold female presenting as right neck mass who underwent surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging was done, and patient was operated under general anaesthesia. Intraoperatively, the tumour was found to be originating from the vagus nerve. Final histopathology confirmed our preoperative suspicion of vagal nerve schwannoma. Vagus nerve schwannomas should be distinguished from other tumours that arise in the neck before planning surgery, to minimize the risk of nerve injury. A careful surgical technique is mandatory for tumour clearance and to reduce postoperative complications.
