Abstract: | We report the CT findings in a patient with a lateral neck mass histologically diagnosed as a laryngeal schwannoma but presenting some uncommon CT features. CT showed unusual calcified components, very rarely observed and potentially misleading for diagnosis. However, this imaging feature can be found in ancient schwannomas. Our case is, therefore, a very rare one and reviews the main differential diagnoses. |
