ABSTRACT
Neurilemmoma is a relatively rare benign tumor originating from the Schwann cells of all nerve fibers outside the central nervous system, with the sole exception being the optic and olfactory nerves. About 25-40% of neurilemmoma occurs in the head and neck region and the acoustic nerve is most frequently involved. But the tumor rarely affect the hypopharynx. In this paper, authors report a case of neurilemmoma of the lateral wall of the hypopharynx in a 61-year old female patient. The tumor was successfully removed via endoscopic approach. So, we report the case with literature.
