| description | Introduction: Neurilemmoma or Schwannomas are benign tumour arising from the nerve sheath of myelinated nerve. Head neck neurilemmomas are not uncommon but intraoral region is very uncommon for this type of tumour.
Case Report: A very rare case of buccal neurilemmoma in an eleven year old child, but much larger than other reported case is reported in the present article with review of literature.
Discussion: Among the intraoral subsites, very few cases of neurilemmoma are reported to be situated in the buccal mucosa. Diagnostic dilemmas due to Fine needle aspiration cytology with features often resembling that of pleomorphic salivary adenomas are reported. The size of the tumour was larger than the cases reported in literature till date. The age of the patient was also much younger than the other reported cases, which made the present case unique. |
