| Popis: | Background: Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm originating from the neural sheath of peripheral soft tissues, but to occur within the jaw bones is exceptional. Plexiform schwannoma is a rare variant of Schwann cell tumour having plexiform pattern of intraneural growth with multinodularity. Case report: This report documents a case of a plexiform intraosseous schwannoma located in the mandible of a fifty-four-year old male. Conclusion: Although intraosseous schwannomas of the jaw bones and plexiform schwannomas of soft tissues of head and neck are documented in the recent literature; to the best of our knowledge, an intraosseous variant of plexiform schwannoma has not been reported. |
