title: Schwannoma in masquerade.
abstract: Neurilemmoma is a rare nerve tumor seldom included in the list of differential diagnosis of soft tissue swelling in maxillofacial region. Arrival at a clinical diagnosis of schwannomas is rarely possible as there are hardly any characteristic clinical features to help in its and it is mostly established by histopathologic examination. We report an interesting case which had presentations similar to a sebaceous cyst but finally turned out to be a schwannomma.
