Abstract
The malignant schwannoma is a neoplasia whose origin is given by peripheral nerve tissue. It rarely appears in the head and neck, and even less frequently in maxillofacial territory. Here is a case report of a male patient, 9 years old, with a rapidly growing mass, expansive growth, located in the body and right mandibular ramus diagnosed as a malignant neurosarcoma or malignant schwannoma of the mandible, with mandibular canal, mental canal and foramen, soft tissue and bone involvement of the region.
