A Long Term Survival Case of Malignant Schwannoma of Cervical Region

Abstract

This paper describes a malignant schwannoma which was detected in the left cervical region of a 60-year-old man. It must have been well advanced from a histopa thological viewpoint as well, since it was refractory through and through. Since its primary growth in 1984, it has recurred time and again for 10 years, slightly shifting its position from one site to another. The tumor has ultimately failed to resolve despite 4 surgeries, radio therapy, and chemotherapy.
