abstract

the neurilemmoma is a benign neoplasm of schwann cell origin. one of the histopathologic subtypes of this tumor is ancient schwannoma which is characterized by degenerative alterations including cystic change, calcification, hemorrhage, and hyalinization. intraosseous schwannomas especially ancient ones are rare tumors. here we present a case of intraosseous ancient schwannoma in the lower jaw of an 11-year-old girl which caused a non-tender expansion. radiographic examination showed a well-circumscribed, unilocular radiolucent lesion with thin sclerotic borders in the mandibular body and the ramus. histopathologic examination of the incisional biopsy showed areas of typical antoni a with verocay bodies and antoni b that was strongly suggestive of a schwannoma. complete excision of the lesion was done under general anesthesia. the histopathologic examination confirmed the primary diagnosis and also degenerative changes such as hyalinization and calcification. based on these findings, the diagnosis of ancient schwannoma was made. no recurrence was observed in the follow-up examination after 3 months.

The tumor, located mainly in the premolar region, presented as an expansive, unilocular, well-defined, radiolucent lesion on plain radiography. No dilatation of the mandibular canal was identified. MR imaging helped to identify the solid nature of the tumor. A biopsy was necessary to m...
