Abstract
Iwamoto and his associates report a case of malignant neurinoma of the neck, where the growth was found to be of the size of an egg and occupying the right trigonum caroticum and mesopharynx.
The tumor was extirpated and it was confirmed that it had developed from the vagus nerve. The diagnosis was established by the histological examination to be a malignant neurinoma, which is generally of rare occurrence.
The patient made a successful recovery after the surgical removal of the tumor.
