ANDRADE LOTUFO, Mônica; VENTIADES, José Antonio; LEMOS JUNIOR, Celso Augusto e MIRANDA FRANCA, Cristiane. Schwannoma of the floor of the mouth: A case report and literature review. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2007, vol.44, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.
Schwannomas, also known as neurilemomas, are benign neoplasias with neural origin. They present painless growth despite its origin. Head and neck are very commom sites of development of this neoplasia and when seen intraorally, the sites of predilection are: tongue, palate, bucal mucosa, lips, gengiva and the floor of the mouth is rarely affected. In this case report we describe a schwannoma in an unusual localization and discuss its diagnosis and treatment.
