Schwannomas are relatively slow-growing benign tumors of the nerve sheath. Schwannomas are relatively rare in occurrence. The head and neck region is the least affected site. The clinical features of intraoral schwannoma are not adequately tackled in the literature. The paper underpins the literature for similar cases. This manuscript reports also a rare case of a palatal schwannoma in a 33-year-old female and reviews the challenges of diagnosis and prognosis of hard palate schwannoma.
