Schwannoma is a benign neoplasm that originates from the neural sheath of Schwann cells. Although extracranial schwannomas are commonly observed in the head and neck region, only 1% are found in the intraoral cavity. This article describes the first case in the Eastern Mediterranean region of a lower lip schwannoma in a 17-year-old male patient.
