ABSTRACT
Background:
Schwannoma or neurilemmoma are a type of nerve sheath tumors. Most of the literature, reports of schwan- noma in the head and neck involve tongue. Intraosseous schwannomas account to about less than 1% with affliction to the mandible over maxilla. Very few cases of maxillary schwannomas have been reported till date. Case presentation We present one such rare case of schwannoma involving the maxilla extending till the nasal cavity in a 35 years old male. Wide excision of the lesion with hemi-maxillectomy of the right side was done using modified Weber–Fergusson approach (Dieffenbach’s extension). The patient’s postoperative recovery was uneventful without recurrence when followed up till 2 years.Conclusion:
Though schwannoma of the Head and neck region are rare, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis of unilateral slow growing mass in the head and neck region, particularly in an adult.
