Palatal Schwannoma: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Schwannomas are benign encapsulated perineural tumors. The head and neck region is the most common site. Intraoral origin is seen in only 1% of cases, tongue being the most common site; its location in the palate is rare. Case report: One such rare case we came across is reported here. The tumor was excised completely intraorally. After two months of follow-up, the defect was found to be completely covered with palatal mucosa. Conclusion: We conclude that the possibility of schwannoma should be kept in mind when dealing with an intraoral, wellcircumscribed, soft-tissue lesion
