ABSTRACT
Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign neoplasm originated from the neural sheath and occurring most frequently in the head and neck. Intraosseous schwannomas are rare. The mandible is the most common site of occurrence for these lesions. This article reports the case of an intraosseous schwannoma located in the mandibular symphysis of an 11-year-old boy. The lesion was surgically removed and no radiographic evidence of recurrence was observed after 5 years.
RESUMO
O schwannoma (neurilemoma) é um neoplasma benigno que se origina da bainha neural e ocorre mais freqüentemente na cabeça e pescoço. Schwannomas intra-ósseos são raros. O local mais comumente afetado é a mandíbula. Este artigo documenta um caso de schwannoma intra-ósseo localizado na sínfise mandibular de um menino com 11 anos de idade. A lesão foi removida cirurgicamente e não houve evidências radiográficas de recorrência após 5 anos de acompanhamento.
