Abstract

A case of Schwannoma of the soft palate has been reported in a 19-year-old female complaining of swelling of the right soft palate.
A soft 15×12 mm mass was noticed in the right soft palate and the clinical diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. The tumor was excised under local anesthesia, examined histopathologically, and diagnosed as schwannoma.
