Clin Case Rep. 2024 Nov 27;12(12):e9619. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.9619. eCollection 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Oral schwannomas are rare, with only 18 cases of soft palate involvement reported since 1985. We report a case of a 15-year-old male with a soft palate schwannoma who was successfully treated by surgical excision and had no complications over a one-year follow-up. Histologically, schwannomas exhibit Antoni A and B patterns.
