The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A 14-year-old male presented with a several month history of an asymptomatic right cervical swelling. An ultrasound scan showed a solid lesion superficial and superior to the thyroid gland. Surgical excision of the lesion was carried out and histological examination revealed a neurilemmoma. Neurilemmomas are relatively rare tumours and even rarer in children. The incidence of such tumours and the management of our patient are discussed.
