Clinical history, presenting symptoms, and relevant auxiliary examinations were collected. Histopathological diagnoses were established using hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining and immunohistochemical analysis.

The most common clinical presentation was a painless mass in the oral-maxillofacial region. Some patients presented with tongue sensory disturbances, masticatory dysfunction, or facial muscle weakness, depending on the affected nerve. Histopathological examination revealed typical Antoni A and Antoni B patterns with Verocay bodies, and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of SCH. Surgical approaches were individualized according to tumor location and size. All patients had favorable postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SCHs of the oral and maxillofacial region and neck exhibit diverse clinical manifestations, definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation.
