Background: Schwannoma or neurilemmoma are a type of nerve sheath tumors. Most of the literature, reports of schwannoma in the head and neck involve tongue. Intraosseous schwannomas account to about less than 1% with affliction to the mandible over maxilla. Very few cases of maxillary schwannomas have been reported till date. Case presentation: We present one such rare case of schwannoma involving the maxilla extending till the nasal cavity in a 35 years old male. Wide excision of the lesion with hemi-maxillectomy of the right side was done using modified Weber–Fergusson approach (Dieffenbach’s extension). The patient’s postoperative recovery was uneventful without recurrence when followed up till 2 years. Conclusion: Though schwannoma of the Head and neck region are rare, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis of unilateral slow growing mass in the head and neck region, particularly in an adult.
