We present the case of a 4 years old male child operated for a tumor with very atypical localization (adjacent to the sixth cervical vertebra), mobile on the underlying and overlying structures, with no other abnormalities of the clinical examination. No biochemical anomalies were present, except for a mild iron deficiency. No predisposing factors (trauma, insect bites or vaccines) were noted during anamnesis. Postoperative evolution was favorable, with no recurrences over a 3 year follow-up period.
