Oral schwannomas (OSs) are rare benign tumors of oral cavity derived from peripheral nerve sheath, composed of proliferation of schwann cells in a characteristic pattern. AS are long-standing lesions which exhibit degenerative changes and atypia due to which they could be mistaken for malignancy. The mean age of occurrence of AS in oral cavity is 43 years, and no case of oral AS has been reported in a pediatric patient so far. Here, we present a rare case of AS of oral cavity in a 10-year-old male child.
口腔施万细胞瘤是起源于周围神经鞘的口腔罕见良性肿瘤，由施万细胞以特征性模式增殖组成。非典型施万细胞瘤是长期存在的病变，表现出退行性改变和异型性，因此可能被误诊为恶性肿瘤。口腔非典型施万细胞瘤的平均发病年龄为43岁，迄今为止尚未有儿科患者发生口腔非典型施万细胞瘤的病例报告。在此，我们报告一例10岁男性儿童口腔非典型施万细胞瘤的罕见病例。
