Schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain: it's not a carotid body tumor

J W Souza et al. Am Surg. 2000 Jan.

Abstract

Schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain is a rare nerve tumor with fewer than 40 confirmed cases in the English literature. These lesions typically present as an asymptomatic neck mass and are easily mistaken for a carotid body tumor during the initial workup. We report a case of schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain in a 35-year-old man followed by a review of the current literature.
