Abstract
- Schwannomas are rare tumors that originate from peripheral nerves of the nerve root sheath, mostly in the head, neck, or extremities. Schwannomas originating from recurrent laryngeal nerves are rare. Herein, we report a case of a mass in the recurrent laryngeal nerve, expected to be a schwannoma, incidentally found during thyroidectomy in a patient with thyroid cancer. No surgical treatment was performed for the tumor, and the patient is currently under close observation without any symptoms before or after the surgery.
