Popis:	Neurilemmomas are benign neurogenic tumors and usually occur in the head and neck region. The neurilemmoma is a solitary, slowly growing tumor and usually involves peripheral nerve.We reported a case of several neurilemmomas occurring simultaneously in the pharynx and the skin of the antebrachium.A 61-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of abnormal sensation in his pharynx and a tumor of the antebrachium. A fiberendoscopic examination revealed a submucosal smooth round mass occupying the right side of the nasopharynx and oropharynx. CT and MRI examinations revaled a clearly demarcated tumor in the submucosal region, expanding from the nasopharynx to the oropharynx. Two tumors were then surgically extirpated, and both tumors were histpathologically diagnosed as a mixed type neurilemmoma consisting of Antoni type A and B cellular patterns withVerocay body.
