Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated, solitary and slow growing masses which surround peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Twenty-five to forty-five percent of these tumors are seen at the head and neck. Cystic vagal schwannomas are very rare. Fifty-seven-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless right neck mass which had grown during 6 years. Neck Magnetic Resonance Imaging reported a mass of approximately 6x8 cm with salt and pepper pattern. The mass was originated from vagal nerve.
Head and neck cystic vagal schwannomas are rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.

Öz

Schwannomlar (nörilemmoma) periferik, kranial ve otonomik sinirleri saran schwann hücrelerinden köken alan benign, kapsüllü, soliter ve yavaş büyüyen kitlelerdir. Bu tümörlerin %25-45’i baş boyun bölgesinde gözlenir. Vagal sinir kaynaklı schwannomlar ise nadir görülen neoplazmlardandır. Elli yedi yaşında erkek hasta, 6 yıldan beri boyunda şişlik şikâyeti nedeni ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Boyun Manyetik Rezonans görüntülemesinde (MRG), tuz biber görünümü olan yaklaşık 6x8cm boyutlarında kistik kitle olduğu görüldü. İntraoperatif olarak kitlenin vagal sinirden köken aldığı izlendi. Baş boyun schwannomları, özellikle de kistik vagal schwannomlar nadir görülmekle birlikte boyun kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmelidir.
