Article Title: Massive vagal schwannoma in an 11-year-old girl
Abstract: We describe an unusual case of a young girl presenting with a large vagal schwannoma necessitating a transcervical-mandibulotomy approach for total tumor resection. The presentation is unique due to the size of the lesion, the patient’s age, the operative approach, and molecular pathology. © 2021 The Authors.
