ABSTRACT
Neurilemmoma is one of the rare head and neck non-epithelial tumours. Over the past 15 years there has been an increase of the malignant forms frequency. Such a significant change is related to significant advances in immunohistochemical diagnostics of malignant neurilemmomas. In the literature sources, we have not found any description of cases of the brachial plexus neurilemmoma on the neck, related to the difficulties in the morphological verification of the diagnosis. In this regard, we want to share our own clinical observation of the disease.
