Abstract

A case of schwannoma arising from the dermal branch of the cervical nerve is reported. A 35-year-old man was referred to our hospital, because of a swelling on the left side of the neck. A cystic mass was discovered on CT, MRI, and ultrasound investigations. The lesion was under the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which compressed the carotid artery and internal jugular vein. Because the lesion adhered to the dermal branch of the cervical nerve, it was excised with the nerve. The pathological diagnosis was a schwannoma arising from the transverse nerve because of sensory loss after surgery. It was considered important to detect the nerve of origin intra operatively. He was well without recurrence 18 months after surgery.
