Abstract
The complaints of sore throat and cough are the symptoms that we encounter frequently in our daily routine, and it is important to remember that if not thoroughly examined, different underlying diseases can be revealed. Our case was applied to the family medicine outpatient clinic with complaints of sore throat and cough, and a mass appearance was observed during the chest radiography requested due to abnormal findings from the sounds coming from the patient's lung. Thus, the mass was detected early, and we presented the patient with the diagnosis of Schwannoma, whose mass was removed.
