  ABSTRACT: Schwannoma is a benign encapsulated neoplasm which grows slowly. It originates from Schwann cells, the sheath cells that cover the myelinated nerve fibers. Head and Neck regions account for around 25% - 40% of the cases. Ancient schwannoma is a rare variant wherein degenerative change occurred in a long-standing schwannoma. This causes sudden increase in size and pain, mimicking a malignant change. It was first described by Ackerman and Taylor in 1951. In this article, I would like to present a case of Ancient variant of Cervical Schwannoma.
