“…A PubMed English language literature review of lingual schwannomas in pediatric patients, dated 28th February 2021, including the case reports and series with clearly defined individual patient characteristics revealed a total of 34 cases of patients in age group ≤ 18 years (Table 1) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The first documented case of pediatric lingual schwannoma was by Craig [4] in 1964 in an 8-year-old female patient. The youngest patients (7 years old) were reported by Cinar [9] in 2004 and Enoz [10] in 2006 and recently by Thompson et al [16].…”

Background Head and neck is a relatively common site of occurrence for the peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and majority of these tumors are seen involving neck, involving vagus nerve, and cervical sympathetic chain. Schwannomas involving mobile tongue are rarely encountered, especially in the pediatric population Case presentation We present a case of recurrent tongue schwannoma in a 13-year-old female successfully managed with transoral excision. At a follow-up of 3 years, no recurrence is observed. Conclusion Surgical excision is the recommended modality of treatment for lingual schwannomas, and when excised adequately, recurrences are not expected. A clear margin of surrounding normal tissue should be aimed for to avoid possible recurrence.

“…[ 5 ] According to Willis, it is slightly more common in women, and there is no significant variation with age. [ 6 ] If it invades submucosal areas, it leads to pain and discomfort. [ 7 8 9 ] Approximately 25%–40% of all schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region.…”

[ 1 2 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] Of this, intraoral schwannoma accounts for 1% of the head and neck region[ 5 ] and commonly seen intraoral site in the base of tongue.

Wright and Jackson[ 2 ] reported 146 cases of schwannoma in oral cavity 52% in tongue and 8.9% affecting the soft palate and 19.6% in the buccal and vestibular mucosa, and 19.24% affecting the lip and gingiva.…”

Neurilemmoma of maxillary alveolus: A rare case report and review of literature

Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Intraoral schwannomas account for 1% of head and neck region and are commonly seen at the base of the tongue. Most of the literature, reports of schwannomas in the tongue region are common. In this article we report a rare occurrence of schwannoma in the maxillary alveolus region and its management. A 45 year old female patient reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery with a complaint of swelling in the left maxillary alveolus in relation to molar teeth that had been present for more than 3 months. Apparently the swelling was small one initially, which gradually increased in size. Such a rare cas e of intraoral schwannoma should be followed up periodically to look for any malignant transformation and recurrences. An important conclusion that has evolved from the reviewed articles, is that the differential diagnosis of painless nodules in head and neck must include schwannomas.

The aim of this study was to describe clinicopathologic and radiographic features of two cases of schwannoma involving the oral tongue and to review the literature of this unusual clinical entity. Case reports with review of the pathologic, radiologic and clinical data for two patients with schwannoma of the tongue are reported. Review of the literature of case reports of schwannomas (neurilemmomas) of the tongue from 1955 to 2006 with analysis of the patient's age, gender, presenting symptom(s), tumor size, and surgical approach was undertaken. The two patients in our series presented with painless swelling of the tongue. Transoral excision was performed and pathologic examination conWrmed the diagnosis of schwannoma in both the cases. A total of 126 cases of schwannoma of the tongue have been reported in the English literature over the past 51 years. Schwannomas of the tongue typically present in the third decade of life (33%), display no gender predilection (52.8% female; 47.2% male) and often present as a painless mass (69.6%). Schwannomas are likely to elicit distressing symptoms when they occur in the posterior one-third of the tongue (63.2 vs. 13.5%) or approach 3 cm in greatest dimension (33.0 vs. 18.2 mm). The vast majority of cases have been treated with transoral excision (94.8%). Recurrence after surgical excision has not been reported. Schwannoma of the tongue is a relatively rare tumor of the head and neck. Transoral resection allows for removal of this tumor in a manner that precludes recurrence, avoids causing morbidity of tongue function, and remains the standard approach for the treatment of the vast majority of these tumors.
