This case study highlights a rare benign schwannoma within the jawbone, originating from the inferior alveolar nerve. Surgical removal led to full sensory recovery and no recurrence, supporting conservative surgical treatment for such tumors.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Benign schwannomas are rare tumors, with intraosseous occurrences being exceptionally uncommon (<1% of primary bone tumors).
- Oral cavity involvement is infrequent, with the tongue being the most common site; intramandibular locations are even rarer.
