Foreign body in early pediatric life is common, owing to the child’s developing dentition and maturity of swallowing mechanism. As the child grew older, the nature of foreign body inhaled might changed. Most of them are due to carelessness and improper habit of holding foreign material in between the lips. We report a case of a boy who inhaled a soft-board metal pin, which was retrieved after multiple attempts due to the nature of the pin that easily slipped and dislodged into distal bronchioles.

Abstract:Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of the sheaths of peripheral nerves. Although vagus nerve and sympathetic chain composed of sympathetic fibers is one of the most common sites of schwannomas in extracranial head and neck region, many cases of origin unknown schwannomas were reported. We report an unusual rare case of a submandibular gland schwannoma in a 67-year-old lady, who was successfully treated by surgical excision with no cranial nerve deficits and complete resolution of the symptoms postoperatively. In this report, we establish a rare findings of schwannoma of the submandibular gland and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case-report of schwannoma of submandibular gland reported from a tertiary hospital in the east coast of Malaysia.
