J Craniofac Surg. 2014 Sep;25(5):e418-20. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000000915.

Abstract

Schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from nerves that contain Schwann cells. We report a case of giant schwannoma of the hard palate, which originated from the greater palatine nerve and is interesting for its large dimensions.
