title: Slowly growing swelling on body of the mandible with paresthesia on lower lip.
abstract: A 23-year-old female patient reported with the chief complaint of swelling on the lower left posterior teeth region of the jaw and paresthesia of left lower lip of 6 months of duration. On the basis of clinical findings and conventional radiographic features, odontogenic tumor or cyst was suspected. Advanced imaging i.e. CT scan, Denta Scan, MRI further provided the exact nature, extent and location of the lesion and later on by histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as an intraosseous schwannoma of the mandible. In this clinicopathologic conference section, elaborate differential diagnosis and radiological features of this rare case is presented.
