Abstract:
Schwannoma is usually an uncommon benign encapsulated slow-growing neural tumor that originates from Schwann cells of peripheral, cranial, and autonomic nerves. It constitutes 1% to 8% of all head and neck neoplasms. Extracranial schwannoma are very rarely seen originating from the infraorbital nerve. Most of the schwannomas are usually solitary and not associated with NF1. The typical presentation is a slow-growing soft-tissue mass. Treatment of schwannoma is surgical resection.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
