Neurilemmoma: A Case Report And Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Neurilemmomas are well-encapsulated, benign, slow-growing tumors originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath surrounding cranial, peripheral, or autonomic nerves. Intraoral neurilemmomas are relatively rare and have a wide variety of morphologic and radiologic features. This makes differential diagnosis difficult, and only histopathological features can lead to a definitive neurilemmoma diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 13-year-old patient whose chief complaint was a solitary, nodular mass on the ventral surface of the tongue. After ultrasonography, we performed an excisional biopsy that showed the typical characteristics of a neurilemmoma. The mass was removed completely with no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
