Surgically excising an intraoral schwannoma of the soft palate using a buccinator flap: A case report

Following resection of an approximately 20 × 19-mm-sized schwannoma of the soft palate, which is a relatively rare site of occurrence for schwannomas, we performed reconstruction of the defect using a BMMF to prevent scar contracture. This was an effective method of reconstruction in consideration of velopharyngeal function.
