Abstract
Submandibular gland tumours, especially mesenchymal tumours, are extremely rare. Schwannoma of the salivary gland is a particularly rare form of an extracranial neurogenic tumor, of which ancient schwannoma is one of five variants. Since the first description, only a few ancient schwannomas have been reported in different locations in the head and neck region. In the submandibular gland it is very rare. This report presents a case of 26 year old male patient with an ancient schwannoma of the submandibular gland seems to be arising from parasympathetic fibers.Entities:
