Abstract

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are solitary neurogenic tumors which are observed rarely and originate from peripheric, cranial or autonomic nerve cells. Twenty-five to 45 percent of extracranial schwannomas occur in the head and neck region. They grow slowly and frequently manifest themselves as asymptomatic masses in the neck. Imaging methods such as ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography are helpful in the diagnosis. A 13-year-old boy presented with a slowgrowing, painless, 15x10x10 cm mass on the left side of his neck that had been noted 2 years previously. During swgery, a well-encapsulated mass originated from the cervical sympathetic chain was observed. Histopathologic examination was reported as a schwannoma.

Özet

Schwannomalar (neurilemmomalar) periferik, kranial veya otonomik sinirlerin kılıflarından kaynaklanan ve nadir görülen soliter nörojenik tümörlerdir. Ekstrakranial schwannomaların % 25-45'i baş boyun bölgesinde ortaya çıkar. Schwannomalar yavaş büyürler ve sıklıkla boyunda asemptomatik kitle ile kendini gösterirler. Ultrasonografi (USG), bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT), manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), ve anjiografi gibi görüntüleme yöntemleri tanıyı koymada yardımcıdır. On üç yaşında erkek hasta, boynun sol tarafında, iki yıl içinde yavaş büyüyen, ağrısız, 15x10x10 cm boyutlarında kitle nedeniyle başvurdu. Operasyon esnasında servikaî sempatik zincirden kaynaklanan düzgün kapsüllü kitle ile karşılaşıldı. Histopatolojik incelemede schwannoma olarak rapor edildi.
