  • Title: Malignant schwannoma in the head and neck.
    Author: Gullane PJ, Gilbert RW, van Nostrand AW, Slinger RP.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1985 Jun; 14(3):171-5. PubMed ID: 4068113.
    Abstract:
    The authors' experience in dealing with three cases of malignant Schwannoma in the head and neck is outlined. The symptomatology of this tumor is discussed with its investigation and management. A correct diagnosis with a CT scan to delineate tumor extent is imperative. A wide surgical resection is the preferred method of treatment with postoperative irradiation of value for residual microscopic disease. The pernicious nature of this tumor often leads to a dismal outcome despite aggressive therapy.
