Sumario:Vagus nerve schwannoma is a very rare benign nerve tumor. Pheochromocytoma is a rare, mostly benign tumor of the adrenal medulla with a large clinical spectrum. Their association is uncommon. The management of both tumors depends solely on surgery. The surgery of vagal schwannomas is particularly challenging considering the anatomical compositions of the area. Here, we report a case of a 76 year-old patient with cervical vagal schwannoma and benign pheochromocytoma association. We discuss the diagnosis and the surgical management of these tumors.
