Swelling of the Upper Lip...Not always a Mucous Retention Cyst!!
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Schwannoma, also known as neurilemmoma, is a solitary benign tumour arising from the Schwann cells. Oral schwannomas are rare and upper lip is an uncommon site. The diagnosis of schwannoma is typically made on histopathology and surgical resection is the treatment of choice. We report a case of swelling of the upper lip in a 26 year old male which was clinically diagnosed as mucous retention cyst and on histopathological examination, a diagnosis of schwannoma was offered.
