| description | 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. |
