Schwannoma is a benign tumor originating from schwann cells that cover myelinated nerve fibers. And is relatively uncommon, particularly when it occurs within the jaw bones. To this day, very few cases of intraosseous schwannoma of the jaws have been documented in the literature with still no clear consensus on its management. We present a rare case of mandibular schwannoma in a 37 -year-old french female. Clinically, the lesion mimicked a giant cyst presentation. Radiological examination using an orthopantomogram suggested differential diagnoses including ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst. However Histopathological analysis confirmed the lesion to be a schwannoma originating from the inferior alveolar nerve. This case report aims to highlight the limited literature on intraosseous schwannomas of the jaw and its challenging management approach.
