Suprasternal Schwannoma: A Rare Site of Presentation.

Mithula Murali1, Shraddha Jain1, Chandra Veer Singh1, Ajinkya Sandbhor1, Vaidehi Hande1.   

Abstract

Schwannomas are benign neurogenic tumours, arising from Schwann cells in the nerve. These tumours are a rare occurrence; 25% are reported in the head and neck region in adults, are rare in the paediatric population, and have a male preponderance. Radiologic investigations can assist in the diagnosis, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of suprasternal schwannoma, which is a rare site of occurrence in the neck, in a 14-year-old male child. Complete resection of the tumour was performed. The patient was free of recurrence with no symptoms at six-month follow-up.
