[Acute presentation in oral schwannoma].
METHODS
We report an unusual presentation of an acute septic maxillary vestibular schwannoma in a 19-year-old female patient. The anatomopathological examination of the tumor showed Schwann cell proliferation and ulceration of infectious origin.


CONCLUSIONS
Intraoral schwannomas are uncommon. They generally induce local pain on percussion and dysesthesia. Isolated intraoral schwannomas are very rarely linked with type I neurofibromatosis. They do not require any specific follow-up after exeresis.
