Abstract
A rare type of soft tissue tumour that is usually neuroectodermal in nature. It is found to arise mainly in Schwann cells. It can occur anywhere in the body, but it usually occurs in the head and neck region, trunk, stomach, oesophagus and in some other internal organs. Most of them are benign but some may be malignant. A 27 year old man presented with a painless swelling of 3cm over the left shoulder region. Surgical excision was done and then the tissue was sent for histopathological examination and IHC was done for confirmation.
