A Compelling Case Report of Intraoral Cellular Schwannoma Involving Buccal Vestibule
The Schwann cells in the peripheral nerve sheath give rise to a benign tumor called a Schwannoma. Generally, it manifests as a solitary, encapsulated growth with a slow growth rate. Schwannomas rarely occur in the oral cavity, but they are frequently found in the head and neck area and even less frequently in the buccal vestibule. A rare case of intraoral cellular schwannoma associated with the buccal vestibule of the left maxillary region in a 40-year-old female patient is being presented. Cellular schwannoma reveals a rare histopathological variant of this tumor. Given its rarity as an intraoral benign tumor, differentiating cellular schwannoma from other malignant tumors demands a meticulous approach to ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of the lesion.
