“…In general, intraosseous schwannoma is considered to have a nonspecific radiographic appearance involving unilocular or multilocular radiolucency, a distinct border and root resorption only in the teeth contacting the lesion. The most common clinical finding is swelling followed by pain and paresthesia []. Moreover, this tumor is often ignored without subjective symptoms.…”

Intraosseous schwannoma in the oral and maxillofacial regions is rare. It arises most commonly in the posterior region of the mandible due to the presence of the inferior alveolar nerve. There have been only seven reported cases of intraosseous schwannoma localized in the anterior region of the mandible, all of which involved unilocular radiolucency. In this study, we report the rare case of an intraosseous schwannoma localized in the anterior mandible with multilocular radiolucency. The radiographic and clinical features of this case may be helpful for providing a correct diagnosis and treatment in the future.

“…Most common clinical presentation of schwannoma is swelling followed by pain and paresthesia. [9] Swelling was the only feature observed in our patient. Radiographically schwannomas present as well-defined unilocular radiolucency with sclerotic borders but sometimes features, such as cortical expansion, root resorption, spotty calcification, and peripheral scalloping can be evident.…”

Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor is relatively rare in occurrence and even rarer in sites, such as jaw bones. There are only 45 reported cases of intraosseous schwannoma of the jaws reported in the literature. We report a rare case of mandibular schwannoma in a 50-year-old Indian male. The clinical features resembled that of a residual cyst, fibro-osseous lesion or an odontogenic tumor/cyst. Radiological differential diagnoses of ameloblastoma or odontogenic keratocyst was made based on the findings of the orthopantomogram. The lesion was examined histopathologically and a final diagnosis of schwannoma arising from the inferior alveolar nerve was made. The aim of this report is to add information to the existing sparse literature on intraosseous schwannomas of the jaw.

“…The radiological features, anatomical location, sex and age of the patient suggested a schwannoma. However, the differential diagnosis might include, clinically as well as radiographically, odontogenic cysts and tumors, pseudocysts and nonodontogenic tumors, which remain less probable in the present context [5,6,7]. Additionally, the MRI aspect in the case of our patient, with a solid mass and no cystic parts, make us clearly distinguish it from odontogenic cystic masses (including ameloblastoma).…”

Background: The purpose of our report is to describe an innovative system used for mandibular immobilization during Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) procedures. It is based on an approach originally developed in Marseille in extracranial lesions, close to or involving the mandible, which may imply a certain degree of movement during the therapeutic image acquisitions and/or GKS treatment. Methods: The maxillofacial surgeon applied bone titanium self-tapping monocortical screws (4; 2 mm diameter, 10 mm length) between roots of the teeth in the fixed gingiva (upper and lower maxillae) the day before GKS (local anesthesia, 5-10 min time). Two rubber bands were sufficient for the desired tension required to undergo GKS. We further proceeded with application of the Leksell stereotactic G frame and carried out the usual GKS procedure. Results: The mean follow-up period was 2.3 years (range 0.6-3). Three patients have been treated with this approach: 2 cases with extracranial trigeminal schwannomas involving the mandibular branch, with decrease in tumor size on MR follow-up; 1 case with residual paracondylian mandibular arteriovenous malformation following partial embolization, completely obliterated at 7 months (digital subtraction angiography programmed 1 year after treatment). Conclusions: Jaw immobilization appears to be a quick, minimally invasive, safe and accurate adjunctive technique to enhance GKS targeting precision.
