“…While lacking established etiology, specific factors have been suspected in their development, such as chronic irritations, trauma [13,18], and radiotherapy treatment [14]. Their slow and generally asymptomatic development [1], results in delayed consultation, particularly in developing countries, where poverty and ignorance are rife [22].…”

A schwannoma or neurilemmoma is a benign neurogenic tumor arising from the Schwann cell nerve sheath. The treatment of this benign neurogenic tumor requires surgical exeresis. The purpose of this work was to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of a mandible intraosseous schwannoma. The patient presented with an ovoid tumefaction that was sensitive to touch. The clinical picture appeared to be marked by progressive sensory problems linked to the compression of the inferior alveolar nerve. The orthopantomograph showed a large granulocytic unifocal radiotranslucent entity deforming the mandibular cortical bone. Its shape was regular, fusiform at the level of the inferior dental canal. From clinical and radiological examinations a cystic or an odontogenic lesion could be diagnosed.Treatment consisted of exeresis of the bone tumor followed by curettage of the granulomatous tissues. A curative antibiotherapy was administered. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign schwannoma. In the absence of a relapse, a prosthetic rehabilitation allowed restoration of the ability to chew.

Résumé -Introduction :Les schwannomes sont des tumeurs bénignes dérivées des cellules de la gaine de Schwann. On les rencontre dans la région de la tête et du cou. Les localisations buccales et intra-osseuses sont rares. Un cas de schwannome intra-mandibulaire du tronc principal du nerf alvéolaire inférieur, chez un enfant âgé de 7 ans est décrit. Observation : L'examen intra-oral a révélé la présence dans le vestibule d'une masse ferme, douloureuse, non pulsatile, incompressible, non fluctuante. L'image radiologique a mis en évidence une zone radioclaire ovalaire, bien délimitée. Le traitement de choix a consisté en l'exérèse de la tumeur. L'examen histopathogénique de la biopsie a montré une zone de type Antoni A, Antoni B avec des organismes de Verocay. Commentaires : Les schwannomes peuvent survenir indépendamment du sex-ratio, de l'origine ethnique ou de l'âge. Ces lésions peuvent engendrer une paresthésie locale passagère par compression nerveuse. Le diagnostic différentiel doit se faire avec le neurofibrome. L'exérèse et l'examen anatomopathologique permettent le diagnostic du schwannome.Abstract -Intraosseous mandibular schwannoma: a case in a child of 7 years and 2 months. Introduction: Schwannoma are benign tumors derived from cells of Schwann's sheath. They can be observed in the region of the head and neck. Oral and intraosseous locations are rare. A case of an intramandibular schwannoma located in the main trunk of the inferior alveolar nerve in a child aged 7 years is described. Observation: The intra-oral examination revealed the presence in the lower vestibule of a firm mass, painful, non-pulsatile and nonfluctuating. X-rays displayed an oval radiolucent area with well-defined borders. The treatment consisted of the removal of the tumor. Histological examination of the specimen showed Antoni A and B areas with Verocay bodies. Comments: Schwannoma may occur in any person with no gender, age or race ratio. Because of nerve compression, these lesions can generate local transient paresthesia. Differential diagnosis must be made between schwannoma and neurofibroma. Excision and histological examination allow the diagnosis of schwannoma.

Background Schwannoma, also known as perineural fibroblastoma, neuroma, or neurilemmoma, is a slow growing benign tumor that exceptionally raises in oral cavity. It mainly affects the second and third decade and can be life-threatening if it becomes large. Developing in youth is unusual. Case presentation A 16-year-old teenager presenting with relatively rapidly growing tongue base tumor which radiologic investigations revealed features of benign tumor, surgery was performed through a standard transoral approach and pathology with immunohistochemistry examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma with no evidence of malignant transformation. Conclusion Oral cavity schwannoma is rare, and the prevailing oral location is the tongue. This particular site holds many risks related to impact symptoms or to anesthesia and securing airways. We performed a trans-oral resection of a tongue base schwannoma using a cold instrument. As the tumor is well encapsulated, this approach seems convenient and less invasive for complete surgical excision.
