Pak Armed Forces Med J Jan ;58(1):107-11.

A 24 years old married female presented with (Lt) side Neck Swelling of 10 yrs duration and difficulty in swallowing for the last 6 months. She had difficulty in movement of neck especially on turning the neck to left. This was associated with feeling of choking on lying on left side. Local examination of the neck revealed a large diffusely enlarged mass of about 12x15 cm with visible scar mark of previous incisional biopsy. On ultrasonography (USG) Neck (fig. 6), a 10.7 x 9.5 cm2, predominantly solid mass with minimal vascularity and few cystic areas were seen that were displacing vessels and neck structures towards midline. No thyroid enlargement was noted. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed which was consistent with Schwannoma (Lt) side of neck. Surgery was carried out under General Anesthesia. Specimen was sent to histopathology which confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma.
