The incidence of schwannomas is 25-45% in the head and neck region but less than 0.5% when restricted to the parapharyngeal space. The clinical presentation of this lesion varies depending on the anatomical location of its occurrence and thus does the treatment modality. Present report is a case of a 20-year-old female who reported to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with swelling in the lateral part of the neck which was subsequently diagnosed as schwannoma and appropriate surgical excision was done. Histopathology of the excision lesion confirmed the diagnosis. It becomes crucial to report and revise the tumours of the parapharyngeal space because of the complexity of the area.
