Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surgical treatment outcomes in 6 cases with tremendous neurogenic tumors in the root of neck. METHODS: Neck-chest-axil-arm "T" incision was used to remove huge tumor in the root of neck. RESULTS: The tumors in the root of neck in 6 patients were removed successfully and no serious complication occurred. With postoperative follows-up for 2-6 years(median 4.5 years), only 1 case died due to the recurrence of lesion in vertebral canal in 11 months after surgery and the other cases survived with satisfying therapeutic outcomes. CONCLUSION: Surgery is an effective method to remove advanced tumor in the root of neck and to improve the quality of life for the patients.
