Abstract
The "ancient" variant of schwannomas is a rare subtype of a benign encapsulated neoplasm of nerve sheath. A review of current literature has revealed several reported sites but not in the hypopharynx. Here we report such a hypopharyngeal tumour arising in a 32 year old man, paying particular attention to the potential diagnostic difficulties.Entities:
