Abstract
Schwannoma is a benign tumour that originates from the Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves. It presents as slow growing painless swelling in the oral cavity or head and neck region not often encountered in clinical practice. This sub mucosal lesion must be differentiated from other benign lesions that also appear in the same regions. Approximately 25-45% Schwannomas are seen head and neck region and found rarely in oral cavity, about 1%. Most of the intraoral schwannomas appear in the tongue. Other less frequent locations include buccal mucosa, palate, and base of the mouth, gingiva and lips. In this article, we report a case of schwannoma of the hard palate, which was excised intraorally.
