Abstract
Schwannoma(neurilemmoma) is a benign neoplasm that originates from the Schwann cells. Schwannoma most commonly arises in the soft tissue of the head and neck. Intraoral lesions are uncommon, however, and intraosseous schwannoma are even rare. The most common site of occurrence for these unusual lesions is the mandible. This article documents a case of an intraosseous schwannoma located in the mandibular ascending ramus. The lesion was surgically removed and no radiographic evidence of recurrence was observed after 1 year.
