Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm that arises from Schwannoma cells found in the peripheral nerve sheath. It's a frequent neoplasm in the head and neck area, but it's exceedingly unusual to find it in the mouth. It's a rare occurrence in the oral cavity of the pediatric age group.
We present a 12-year-old kid who has had a smooth, firm, and non-tender mass in the sublingual region for the past year. The mass was removed completely using a transoral technique. The diagnosis of sublingual schwannoma was confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical testing.
Schwannomas are typically benign and have a good prognosis with a low risk of malignant change. It should be used as a differential diagnostic for sublingual diseases such as ranula and salivary gland lesions. In the case of lingual schwannoma, surgical removal of the tumor is the preferred therapy. The transoral method is the most popular treatment option for sublingual schwannoma.
施万细胞瘤是一种良性肿瘤,起源于周围神经鞘中的施万细胞。它是头颈部常见的肿瘤,但在口腔中发现极为罕见。在儿童年龄组的口腔中更是罕见。
我们介绍一名12岁儿童,过去一年在舌下区域有一个光滑、坚实且无压痛的肿块。采用经口技术将肿块完全切除。通过组织病理学和免疫组织化学检测确诊为舌下施万细胞瘤。
施万细胞瘤通常为良性,预后良好,恶变风险低。它应作为舌下疾病如舌下囊肿和唾液腺病变的鉴别诊断。对于舌部施万细胞瘤,手术切除肿瘤是首选治疗方法。经口方法是舌下施万细胞瘤最常用的治疗选择。
