Abstract
Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor that is composed entirely of well differentiated Schwann cells. They are frequently located in the soft tissue of head and neck region, but only a 1% of them are located in the oral cavity. Schwannoma arising in the soft palate is extremely rare. We present a case of a soft palate schwannoma and report this case with a literature review.
