Neurilemmoma is common in the head and neck. However, its occurrence at the posterior oropharyngeal wall is very rare. Neurilemmomas usually occur in adults, but seldom become malignant. After complete excision, recurrence is rare. Under light microscope, Verocay body of the Antoni type A area is the characteristic finding of the tumor. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells reveal typical sinusoidal pattern and characteristic Luse bodies consisting of fibrous long-spacing clolllagen. We herein present a case of right posterior oropharyngeal neurilemmoma. After transoral excision of the tumor, there is no swallowing, phonation or focal neurological deficits noted. No evidence of recurrence is noted in the follow-up five months.
