Although it is extremely rare, it affects the head and neck region in roughly 25\u201345% of all cases. Intraorally, the tongue is the most common site and is rarely involves vestibular mucosa. Here, we report a rare case of Schwannoma of vestibular mucosa in a 13-year-old girl and contribute a review to the current literature. Clinically, based on age, site, and appearance, a diagnosis of a benign tumour such as lipoma, fibroma, neurofibroma, and benign lesions of salivary glands was made. An excisional biopsy showed solely Antoni type A tissue with central acellular eosinophilic Verocay bodies surrounded by spindle-shaped neurilemma cells arranged compactly with wavy, twisted nuclei arranged in a palisaded manner. The patient was recurrence-free after 6 months. Hence, this case is of interest due to its rarity in terms of age, site, and histopathology (Antoni type A neurilemmoma) for a presumed initial diagnosis. Here, we also hypothesize regarding the type of growth pattern in the earlier diagnosed cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_489_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]],"date-time":"2024-07-11T06:06:46Z","timestamp":1720678006000},"page":"297-300","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Vestibular Schwannoma in a paediatric case\u2014A rare entity"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Jeyaseelan","family":"Augustine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aadithya B.","family":"Urs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuldeep","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunita","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1007\/s40368-018-0349-5","article-title":"Palatal schwannoma in a young female patient: Report of a case and review of the literature","volume":"19","author":"Tamiolakis","year":"2018","journal-title":"Eur Arch Paediatr Dent"},{"key":"R2-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1037","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-196408000-00002","article-title":"Neurogenic tumors of the head and neck","volume":"74","author":"Putney","year":"1964","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"R3-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(196908)24:2<355::AID-CNCR2820240218>3.0.CO;2-2","article-title":"Benign solitary Schwannomas (neurilemomas)","volume":"24","author":"Das","year":"1969","journal-title":"Cancer"},{"key":"R4-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-016-0680-2","article-title":"Head and neck Schwannomas: 20-year experience of a single institution excluding cutaneous and acoustic sites","volume":"10","author":"Butler","year":"2016","journal-title":"Head Neck Pathol"},{"key":"R5-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/S0901-5027(87)80033-4","article-title":"Benign neurogenic tumors of the oral cavity","volume":"16","author":"Zachariades","year":"1987","journal-title":"Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R6-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(67)90431-8","article-title":"Neurilemoma (schwannoma) or the oral cavity","volume":"24","author":"Hatziotia","year":"1967","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol"},{"key":"R7-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr\/59344498","article-title":"Mandible schwannoma (neurilemmoma) presenting as periapical lesion","volume":"38","author":"Buric","year":"2009","journal-title":"Dentomaxillofacial Radiol"},{"key":"R8-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.2334\/josnusd1959.29.203","article-title":"Neurilemmoma in the oral cavity","volume":"29","author":"Akimoto","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Nihon Univ Sch Dent"},{"key":"R9-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.1179\/crn.2012.022","article-title":"Intraoral schwannoma: Review of the literature and presentation of a rare case","volume":"30","author":"Handschel","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cranio"},{"key":"R10-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-4220(57)80110-8","article-title":"Two neurogenic tumors of the oral cavity","volume":"10","author":"Mckay","year":"1957","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol"},{"key":"R11-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1429","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(59)90261-0","article-title":"Neurinoma in the vestibular mucosa","volume":"12","author":"Winters","year":"1959","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol"},{"key":"R12-20240906","first-page":"120","article-title":"Schwannome du vestibule buccale","volume":"61","author":"M H\u00e9nault","year":"1960","journal-title":"Rev.
