A case of Schwannoma that occurred at the right palate was reported. The clinical impression was suspected pleomorphic adenoma, and the lesion was surgically excised under general anesthesia. It was noticed during the operation that the tumor adhered to the greater palatine nerve. Histopathologically it was diagnosed as Schwannoma (Antoni A type), so it was suggested that the tumor had a close relation to the greater palatine nerve. Clinical behaviors were compared with other Schwannomas already had reported. From histological, electronmicroscopical, and immunohistochemical findings, the origin of the tumorwas also discussed.
