Schwannomas are generally benign tumors, well delimited, resulting from nerve sheaths that are frequently found in the thorax, mainly in the posterior mediastinum. We report a 58-year-old patient who carried out investigations following the appearance of a large right supraclavicular cervicalmass associatedwith anisocoria and eyelid ptosis, histologically diagnosed as ancient schwannoma, completely removed through a cervicotomic approach without opening the chest.

We report a 58-year-old patient who carried out investigations following the appearance of a large right supraclavicular cervicalmass associatedwith anisocoria and eyelid ptosis, histologically diagnosed as ancient schwannoma, completely removed through a cervicotomic approach without opening the chest.File in questo prodotto:
