Neurilemmoma is a mild tumor growing from the Schwann's cells of the external part of the nerve trunk. Authors, in their works describe a case of a 32-year-old man with a neck tumor on its right side. The tumor was identified as the neurilemmoma on the grounds of a postoperative histopathological examination. Thin-needle biopsy that was made twice during the history of the patient that lasted two years did not reveal the character of the tumor.
