Schwannoma are commonly seen in the head and neck region, of which 4% present in sinonasal area and only 1% are seen in the oral cavity. Of the intraoral presentation, schwannoma are rarely seen arising from the palate. Literature search revealed 17 cases of palatal schwannoma and we are reporting the 18th case of palatal schwannoma. This being a very rare case of Schwannoma arising from the soft palate in a 12-years-old boy as a painless, slow growing, firm mass for 2 years, which was surgically enucleated by trans-oral approach with no recurrence and good speech results.
