Neck schwannoma diagnosed by core needle biopsy: a case report

Abstract: Here we present a case of a 58 year old man referred to our hospital to undergo neck and thyroid ultrasonography (US) following palpable neck mass. US revealed a solid hypoechoic nodule in right thyroid lobe, and a solid lesion on the right laterocervical neck region with ultrasound suspicious features of neoplastic lymph node. In order to achieve a diagnosis of the neck mass and to get a proper evaluation of the thyroid nodule, we decided to perform a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of both lesions. At cytopatho… Show more

“…In a case report by Nasrollah et al, core needle biopsy (CNB) was used to diagnose neck schwannoma. It revealed a proliferation of neuronal type consistent with Schwannoma [ 25 ]. Hong et al reported a case of gastric schwannoma where the lesion was diagnosed using tru-cut biopsy [ 26 ].…”

“…In patients where confusion persists, FNAC can be used to establish a preoperative diagnosis, which reveals a yellow fluid with keratinized anuclear cells, squamous epithelium, and a matrix of amorphous debris [21]. Being less invasive and safe, core needle biopsy of the lesions is preferred to diagnostic surgery when FNAC fails to reach a definite diagnosis in suspected neck schwannomas or any other indeterminate neck mass [22]. Management of paraganglioma involves surgical excision with preoperative embolization as an important adjunct to surgery [23][24][25].…”

“…Tumor resection and tissue biopsy were waived, as the patient complained of radiating pain after aspiration. Although core needle biopsy is useful in soft tissue tumor like schwannoma, it may cause persistent and difficult‐to‐treat pain . We diagnosed the tumor as a schwannoma based on the imaging and cytological results.…”
