Introduction:
Schwannomas are benign and not very frequent tumors of the peripheral nerves, derived from the nerve supporting Schwann cells.
Study Design:
Data were collected on the clinical manifestations (sex, age), location, size and symptonts of the lesions as well as the evolution time and the initial (presumption) diagnosis.
Results:
Twelve patients were documented, with a mean age of 29,5 ± 12,1 years (range 16-50) and a balanced gender distribution. The mean duration of the lesions was 42,17± 45,3 months. The lesion located in the floor of the mouth was the largest tumor, measuring about 4 cm in maximum diameter, while the average size of the 12 schwannomas was 2.04± 1.1 cm.
Conclusion:
We present 12 oral schwannomas diagnosed and treated over a period of 10 years. Key words:Schwannomas, oral benign tumor, neurilemmoma.
