Schwannomas of the pharynx are very rare lesions. In this article we report the features of a schwannoma arising from the posterior pharyngeal wall in an 59-year-old man with a 6-month history of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Computerized tomography (CT) showed a well-defined tumor mass originating from the posterior pharyngeal wall. The lesion was removed via external approach by using lateral pharyngotomy. To our knowledge, only 6 cases of schwannomas of the posterior pharyngeal wall have been reported.
