Abstract
Intraosseous schwanommas are benign tumors that arise from Schwann cells. They are common in soft tissues of the head and neck region. However, intraosseous schwanommas are rare accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. They commonly manifest as a swelling that is usually asymptomatic. They can be treated with simple enucleation and curettage with a low rate of recurrence and malignant transformation. Histopathology alone is insufficient for arriving at a definitive diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in such cases for correctly establishing and confirming the diagnosis. Here, we present a rare case of intraosseous schwanomma (neurilemmoma) of the mandible.
