Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm originating from Schwann's cell. It involves neurons and axons of peripheral nerves. This tumor has a predilection for the head and neck region, and often occurs as soft tissue lesion. Intraosseous sheath tumors are rare, comprising less than 1% of all bone tumors; the mandible is the most common site. The literature reports only 30 acceptable cases of schwannoma of the mandible. We report a new case of schwannoma that is unusual in its intraosseous localization and the patient's comparatively young age.
神经鞘瘤是一种起源于施万细胞的良性肿瘤。它累及周围神经的神经元和轴突。这种肿瘤好发于头颈部区域，常表现为软组织病变。骨内鞘瘤罕见，占所有骨肿瘤的比例不到1%；下颌骨是最常见的部位。文献仅报道了30例可接受的下颌骨神经鞘瘤病例。我们报告了一例新的神经鞘瘤病例，其骨内定位及患者相对年轻的年龄均较为罕见。
