Schwannoms (norylemmoma) are benign, capsular, solitary and slowly growing masses that originate from the swann cells that carry peripheral, cranio and autonomous nerves. 25% to 45% of these tumors are observed in the head neck area. Vagal nerve-caused swannoms are one of the rare neoplasms. A female patient, aged five and seven years old, has been in our clinic for 6 years of swelling. In the throat magnetic resonance image (MRG), it was found that there was a cystic mass of about 6x8cm in size with a salt pepper appearance. Intraoperatively, the crowd was observed from the vagal nerve. Head neck swannoms, especially cystic vagal swannoms are rare, should be considered in the distinctive diagnosis of neck masses.

Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated, solitary and slow growing masses which surround peripheral, cranial and autonomic nerves. Twenty-five to forty-five percent of these tumors are seen at the head and neck. Cystic vagal schwannomas are very rare. Fifty-seven-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless right neck mass which had grown during 6 years. Neck Magnetic Resonance Imaging reported a mass of approximately 6x8 cm with salt and pepper pattern. The mass was originated from vagal nerve. Head and neck cystic vagal schwannomas are rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.
