Abstract :
Schwannomas are peripheral nerve sheath benign tumors which arise from the schwann cells. These neoplasms are most frequently seen in the 3 to 6 decade of life and affecting the limbs followed by head and neck region. Oropharyngeal vallecular involvement by schwannomas is extremely rarely reported in the previous literature. We report a case of a 25 year old male with lesion in the vallecula which was subsequently diagnosed as Schwannomas on histopathology.
