Schwannoma Of The Buccal Mucosa.
Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;37(1):12-5.

Schwannoma is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor originating from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves. Intra-oral development of this tumor accounts for only 1% of all the head and neck tumors. A preoperative diagnosis of schwannoma is not possible due to its rare occurrence. In this paper we present a case of a 5 year old girl with a schwannoma of the lower right buccal mucosa, diagnosed on the basis of intra-operative clinical findings and histopathological examination and treated via an intra-oral surgical approach.
