Neck masses can have various origins and diverse presentations, making accurate diagnosis challenging.
Schwannomas and lymphoepithelial cysts are commonly encountered neck tumors, and it is hard to get differential
diagnosis. A 50-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging right neck mass discovered five years
ago. Upon examination, a 3 cm firm, non-tender, and mobile tumor was found in the right neck level II region.
Imaging studies suggested a tumor originating from the cervical sympathetic chain. The patient underwent a resection
of the tumor under general anesthesia. Postoperative follow-up showed no complications or signs of
recurrence. However, contrary to the initial suspicion of a schwannoma, the final pathological examination revealed
a lymphoepithelial cyst. In this paper, we present a case of a cervical lymphoepithelial cyst misdiagnosed as a
schwannoma, aiming to compare the clinical and histological characteristics of these two tumors and provide insights
into appropriate diagnosis and management.
