Abstract
Author described a rare case of lingual Schwannoma in 20 years old female. After complete surgical excision she has not shown recurrence during 2 years of follow-up. Schwannomas are peripheral nerve tumors of nerve sheath origin. Extracranial schwannoma in the head and neck region comprise 25–45% of all shwannomas, but only 1% are located intraoral and usually present as slow growing mass of long duration, producing few symptoms. The treatment is surgical excision.
