Abstract

Schwannomas are benign encapsulated perineural tumors. The head and neck region is the most common site. Intraoral origin is seen in only 1% of cases, tongue being the most common site; its location in the palate is rare.One such rare case we came across is reported here. The tumor was excised completely intraorally. After two months of follow-up, the defect was found to be completely covered with palatal mucosa. KEYWORDS: Benign tumour , palatal tumour
