 Abstract. A neurinoma (schwannoma) is a tumor of the peripheral nervous system that originates from Schwann cells of the neural membrane. Esophageal neurinoma is a very rare submucosal tumor. Since the clinical symptoms of esophageal neurinoma are non-specific, its preoperative diagnosis remains a rather difficult task, and treatment issues are not sufficiently described. This article presents a clinical case of removal of cervical esophageal neurinoma against the background of Recklinghauzen’s disease.

Key words: benign esophagus tumor, neurinoma, Recklinghausen’s disease, cervicotomy.
