NEURILEMMOMA OF SUBLINGUAL SALIVARY GLAND: A RARE CASE.
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
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 (25 to 45 % of neurilemmoma occur in head and neck region out of these 20% are intra oral with tongue being most commom site). Neurilemmoma of sub lingual gland are even more rare. They have a wide variety of morphologic and radiologic features. This makes differential diagnosis difficult, and only histopathological features can lead to a definitive diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 55 -year-old woman who presented to Department of ENT Dr. S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur, Rajsthan, India whose chief complaint was a solitary, nodular mass in the floor of the mouth on left side. The mass was removed completely through an intraoral surgical approach. Wound healing was uneventful and there were no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
