A RARE CASE OF INTRA OSSEOUS SCHWANNOMA IN RETROMOLAR AREA AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Schwannomas are one of the benign neoplasms originating from the neural sheath. Soft tissues of the head and neck are the most common sites of occurrence; however, intraosseous schwannomas are rare. Intraoral lesions are uncommon, however, and intraosseous schwannomas are even rarer. In the Mayo Clinic series of 11,087 primary bone tumors, 14 cases of intraosseous schwannoma were identified, accounting for less than 1% of these benign primary bone tumors. The most common site of occurrence is the mandible, a characteristic traditionally attributed to the long intraosseous path of the inferior alveolar nerve. In this article, we describe an additional case occurring in the mandible of a 18-year-old male patient.
