Neurinoma of the recurrent nerve presented a rare diagnosis in thyroid gland surgery. A case report is presented and the result of the neurinoma of the recurrent nerve extirpation--nerve paresis--is discussed with the rare results in literature. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult and intraoperative histological diagnosis was not correct. The postoperative paresis of the nerve was clinical only very light. The problematical neuromonitoring by isolated nodes in parathyroideal regions and after their exstirpation must lead to the suspicion of a recurrent nerve neurinoma.
