| Abstrakt: | Schwannomas are not uncommon in the maxillofacial region; however, those with intraoral localization and, in particular, the hard palate are among the least frequently described. In the current case report, we present a 17-year-old girl with a histologically verified schwannoma of the hard palate on the right, originating from the right greater palatine nerve. In her case, despite the lysis of the palatine bone from the tumor compression, the disease is asymptomatic, causing only a weak sensation of local discomfort. The lesion was removed surgically under general anesthesia and the resulting defect of the palatal mucosa was compensated by plastic reconstruction with a lingual mucosal flap on a posterior feeding base. The recovery period was uneventful. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2024, Stoev et al.) |
