“…Intracranially, the acoustic nerve is the most common site, whereas peripheral cranial nerve schwannomas are usually located in soft tissues such as the tongue [6]. Although rare, the dorsum of the tongue is the most common extracranial location in the head and neck [8]. Identification of an originating nerve may be difficult.…”

A 24-year-old Turkish woman is described, who gradually developed progressive swallowing problems over 6 months due to a tumor in the base of the tongue. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large well-circumscribed solid mass. Histopathological examination of an incisional biopsy showed a schwannoma. The tumor was completely removed through a submandibular approach. The postoperative course was uneventful and her complaints disappeared. The submandibular approach used gave an excellent exposure of the base of tongue with a less obvious scar than a lip-splitting incision.

“…Unni 13) reported their prevalence as making up less than 1% of all benign primary bone tumors. In a review of 152 cases of schwannoma occurring in the oral and maxillofacial region, Gallo 6) reported only 18 cases (11.8%) of intraosseous schwannoma in the mandible.…”

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are benign neoplasms derived from Schwann cells of the neurilemma and appear most frequently on the auditory nerve or peripheral nerves of the skin. They arise in the oral and maxillofacial region infrequently, and very rarely in the center of the jaw. We herein present a case of a rare mandibular intraosseous schwannoma derived from the main trunk of the inferior alveolar nerve in a 33-year-old man. Fusiform expansion in the mandibular canal was observed and a mass showing the target sign in the mandibular canal was confirmed on T2-weighted and Gd contrastenhanced T1-weighted MRI. Based on these findings, an inferior alveolar nerve-derived schwannoma or other benign nervous system neoplasm was diagnosed. A buccal side cortical bone flap in the mandibular molar region was removed to expose the mass, which was then peeled away from the nerve fibers and completely removed. Some inferior alveolar nerve fibers that were connected to the mass were removed at the same time, but the remaining nerve fiber bundle was preserved. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a schwannoma with Antoni type A and Antoni type B regions. Although the patient experienced extremely mild paresthesia in the skin over the mental region and mental foramen at immediately after surgery, this had almost entirely disappeared at 7 years and 4 months later, and there has been no tumor recurrence.

“…Gallo et al [7] reported on 157 cases where 45.2% of the cases involved the tongue and 13.3% involved the cheek. Das Gupta et al [4] reported on 136 cases of schwannoma in the head and neck that consisted of 60 cases in the neck, 10 cases in the parotid gland, 9 cases in the cheek, 8 cases in the tongue, and 8 cases in the pharynx.…”
