Schwannoma is usually an uncommon benign encapsulated slow-growing neural tumor that originates from Schwann cells of peripheral, cranial, and autonomic nerves. It constitutes 1% to 8% of all head and neck neoplasms. Extracranial schwannoma are very rarely seen originating from the infraorbital nerve. Most of the schwannomas are usually solitary and not associated with NF1. The typical presentation is a slow-growing soft-tissue mass. Treatment of schwannoma is surgical resection.
