Schwannoma Presenting as a Cheek Cyst: A Case Report

Schwannomas are painless, slow-growing tumors arising from nerve sheath. They are exceedingly rare. Some common sites include vestibule-cochlear region and parapharyngeal space but intraoral schwannomass are only 1 percent. The tongue is the most frequently encountered intraoral site, followed by the palate, floor of mouth, buccal mucosa, lips, and mandible. Here we are reporting a very unique case of Intra-oral schwannoma presented as a cheek cyst in a middle-aged man with no signs and symptoms. He came to us because of the cosmetic disfigurement caused by the cyst. This emphasizes the importance of keeping schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of cheek cysts.
