T-cell lymphomas are infrequently encountered in the head and neck area, with the most common subtype being Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT). ENKTL-NT shows a predilection for midline facial structures presenting with ulcerative destructive lesions, whereas palatal involvement is one of the most prominent signs from the oral cavity. Herein, we describe a case of a 76-year-old Greek man with nasal obstruction and an extensive painful necrotic ulcer with ragged borders on the left distal portion of the soft palate and palatine tonsil of 4-months duration.

Article Synopsis
- Oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a rare oral lesion analyzed in a study that reviewed 13 cases over 47 years, which were predominantly found in males with a mean age of 48.8 years.
- The lesions typically appear as asymptomatic granular nodules or plaques in the gingiva or hard palate, with white coloration and variable consistency.
- A comprehensive literature review identified a total of 429 cases of OVX, highlighting its subtle male predominance and emphasizing the importance of considering OVX in the differential diagnosis for similar oral lesions.
Background: A few cases of oral schwannomas in paediatric patients have appeared in the literature so far; however, there are no studies focusing solely on paediatric oral schwannomas. The aim of this study is to report a case of palatal schwannoma in a young female patient and review the pertinent literature on oral schwannomas in paediatric patients.
Case Report: A 12-year-old girl presented with a growing swelling of 2 weeks duration on the hard palate.
