“…9 Schwannoma was described first in 1908 by Verocay, commonly occurs between 30 and 50 years of age and in our case it is a 25-year old. 10 Our case presented with a slowly progressing, solitary and painless, right submandibular swelling with a good post-operative prognosis which is clinically comparable with the works done by Ho CF et al, 11 Satish Kumar Ranjan et al 12 and Gaffar Aslan et al 13 Plain radiography is not useful for reaching out to a diagnosis of schwannoma. Ultrasound examination reveals a well circumscribed and hypoechoic mass.…”

Approximately 25-40% of the total schwannomas, are head and neck Schwannomas, they may originate from nerve sheath of the peripheral, cranial or autonomic nerves. We report a case of Schwannoma of right side Submandibular region in a 25 year old female with no significant dental, personal or medical history. Schwannomas are slowly progressive benign lesions, the patient presents with a mass or swelling that is growing in size slowly. The lesions are usually painless non-tender, smooth swelling beneath the mucosa with no changes in the overlying skin. An Ultrasound revealed well circumscribed hypoechoic solid lesion with internal vascularity. The lesion on T1 weighted MRI images exhibits homogenous isointensity and on T2 weighted MRI images exhibits heterogenous hyperintensity on contrast enhanced T1 MRI images it exhibits salt and pepper type of enhancement. The diagnosis of Schwannoma is confirmed histopathologically by showing the presence of Antoni type A cells and Antoni type B cells, nuclear palisading, whirling of cells and Verocay bodies. This tumor may have originated from an autonomic nerve of the submandibular gland.

Tumors of the salivary gland constitute a heterogeneous group of variable histological and biological behaviors. Patients with salivary gland tumors typically present with painless swelling. However, several neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies can result in salivary gland enlargement. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman complaining of a left neck swelling for 3 months duration. She had no relevant past medical or surgical history. On examination, there was a left submandibular swelling that was firm in consistency, non-tender, non-pulsatile, relatively mobile, and was not tethered to the underlying structures. Otherwise, examination of the head and neck was unremarkable. A CT scan of the neck revealed a welldefined hypodense lesion in the left submandibular region with foci of calcification along with multiple enlarged lymph nodes. After surgical exploration, the submandibular gland region, a mass lesion was found arising from the submandibular gland. Histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Salivary gland schwannoma is a very rare form of neurogenic tumor. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice; however, neural deficits are important and common postoperative complications.

Tumors occurring in the submandibular space are infrequent among pediatric patients, and benign peripheral nerve tumors in this region are exceptionally rare. This study describes the uncommon occurrence of a schwannoma in the submandibular space in a child and describes its management. A 7-year-old child presented with a gradually enlarging swelling over a 7-month period in the submandibular region, clinically resembling a salivary gland tumor. There were no associated marginal mandibular, lingual, or hypoglossal nerve palsy. The mass was excised completely, and histopathological examination revealed it to be a schwannoma. It is appropriate to consider benign peripheral nerve tumors, such as schwannoma, in the differential diagnosis of submandibular space tumors in children.
