A Rare Site for Oral Cavity Schwannoma:A Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Schwannomas are benign tumororiginating from peripheral Schwann cells of the neural sheaths. These tumors present as solitary and encapsulated lesions. Intra oralschawannoma is not commonly seen in the palate and extremely rare at junction between soft and hard palate. These benign lesions are slowly expanding tumors with less risk for malignant transformation and need complete excision of the mass. As it has rare and non-specific presentations, the diagnosis is usually established by histopathological examination and immunohistochemical evaluation. Here we report a case of a large schawannoma at the area where hard and soft palate unite, which is an extremely rare location of this tumor.
