Schwannoma is relatively uncommon slow growing lesion that is most commonly encountered in the nerve sheath. The tongue is the most common site followed by palate, floor of mouth, buccal mucosa, lips and jaws. It is usually occurring as asymptomatic, solitary, smooth surfaced and slow growing lesion, emerging at any age with no gender predilection. Occurring as a common tumour in the head and neck region, its intraoral presentation is very rare. Here, we are reporting a rare case of intraoral schwannoma in the region of lower labial mucosa. This occurred in a 29-year old male patient who had chief complaint of a painless, slow growing swelling on lower labial mucosa.
