Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve. Occurring as a common tumor in the head and neck region, its intraoral presentation is rare which accounts for only 1%. They are solitary, slow-growing, smooth-surfaced, usually asymptomatic, and encapsulated tumor. This paper comprises two case reports, both of which presented with an intraoral soft tissue swelling which turned out to be schwannoma of buccal mucosa and infratemporal fossa with extension into the oral cavity, respectively. The treatment was done with complete surgical excision. Soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity can present with similar clinical feature, which can make it difficult to distinguish one lesion from the other. Thus, final diagnosis for such lesions can only be rendered based on complete analysis of clinical, radiological, surgical, and histopathological findings.
神经鞘瘤是一种起源于周围神经施万细胞的良性肿瘤。作为头颈部常见的肿瘤，其口腔内表现罕见，仅占1%。它们是孤立的、生长缓慢、表面光滑、通常无症状且有包膜的肿瘤。本文包含两例病例报告，两例均表现为口腔内软组织肿胀，结果分别为颊黏膜和颞下窝神经鞘瘤并延伸至口腔。治疗采用完整手术切除。口腔软组织肿瘤可表现出相似的临床特征，这可能使得难以区分一种病变与另一种病变。因此，此类病变的最终诊断只能基于对临床、放射学、手术和组织病理学检查结果的全面分析做出。
