[Acute presentation in oral schwannoma]. / Présentation aiguë d'un schwannome intraoral.

ABSTRACT

OBSERVATION We report an unusual presentation of an acute septic maxillary vestibular schwannoma in a 19-year-old female patient. The anatomopathological examination of the tumor showed Schwann cell proliferation and ulceration of infectious origin. DISCUSSION: Intraoral schwannomas are uncommon. They generally induce local pain on percussion and dysesthesia. Isolated intraoral schwannomas are very rarely linked with type I neurofibromatosis. They do not require any specific follow-up after exeresis.
