Intraosseous schwannoma affecting the mandible: case report and immunohistochemical analysis

Schwannomas are neoplasms arising from differentiated Schwann cells. These tumors most often affect the soft tissues of the head and neck and rarely occur in intraosseous location. To date, approximately 90 cases of schwannoma affecting the jaws have been reported. A 52-year-old female patient was referred for evaluation of an asymptomatic mandibular lesion. Imaginologic analysis showed a large radiolucent lesion involving the mandibular body and ramus with expansion of the buccal and lingual cortical plates.
