Abstract

Schwannoma or neurilemmoma is benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Intraoral schwannoma accounts for 1% of head and neck region and commonly involves tongue. Most of the earlier reports in the literature, have described schwannomas that occurred in the tongue. In this article,
we report a case of schwannoma involving an unusual site - mandibular labial vestibule, in a young patient. The lesion was completely excised with no reported complication for a followup of 15 months.
