Peripheral schwannomas are typically benign tumors originating from Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. Although often asymptomatic, such tumors may present diagnostic challenges since they resemble other known structures, leading to potential misinterpretations. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old patient with a cervical mass that initially posed a diagnostic dilemma, resembling a cervical lymph node on clinical examination. The calcified nature of the tumor added complexity to its identification, and our case underscores the significance of a good diagnostic evaluation. The literature on calcified peripheral schwannomas is scarce, but the current case contributes to the understanding of atypical presentations. Diagnostic modalities, including imaging studies and histopathological examination, play a pivotal role in confirming the schwannoma diagnosis and differentiating it from other entities. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment, but awareness of varied presentations is crucial for accurate management. This case report serves as a valuable addition to the literature, highlighting calcified peripheral schwannomas mimicking cervical lymph nodes. Medical practitioners should maintain a high index of suspicion for schwannomas in unusual clinical cases, ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
