Supraclavicular nerve schwannoma is very rare tumor present in head and neck region. We are reporting an interesting case of Middle Supraclavicular nerve schwannoma. A 28 year old female patient presented to us with left supraclavicular swelling since 1 year. She was diagnosed differently initially four times as having connective tissue neoplasm, tuberculous lymphadenitis, reactive lymphadenitis and granulomatous lymphadenitis by different surgeons. She was referred to our institute from Akola for further management. After all investigations she was subjected to excisional biopsy and her histopathological report came suggestive of schwannoma. Post-op no neurological deficit was observed. She was discharged on fourth day post operatively.
