Abstract
Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmoma, are benign, slow-growing nerve sheath tumors arising from Schwann cells. Approximately 25-40% of schwannomas occur in the head and neck region. However, schwannomas that present in the oral cavity are relatively rare, constituting around 1% of all described cases in the head and neck region. [1],[2] Here, we report a rare case of an intraoral schwannoma, in a 28-year-old male, with painless swelling located in the posterolateral aspect of the soft palate on the right side. Definitive diagnosis was obtained after histopathology examination. Surgical excision of the tumor was done with no complications or recurrences.
