Abstract:
Schwannoma, also known as neurilemmoma, is a
solitary benign tumour arising from the Schwann cells.
Oral schwannomas are rare and upper lip is an
uncommon site. The diagnosis of schwannoma is
typically made on histopathology and surgical
resection is the treatment of choice. We report a case of
swelling of the upper lip in a 26 year old male which
was clinically diagnosed as mucous retention cyst and
on histopathological examination, a diagnosis of
schwannoma was offered
