GODREKR · #1 ● 06-01-2012, 12:34 AM

Schwannoma (Neurilemmoma) are benign tumors of ectodermal origin derived from schwann cells of the nerve sheath. They are slow growing, solitary and well encapsulated tumors. 25% to 48% of schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region. Only 1% of the schwannomas are seen intraorally. Tongue is the most commonest site of schwannoma. Here we present a rare case of schwannoma of the hard palate.
