Abstract

Neurilemoma (Schwannoma) is a solitary encapsulated benigh tumor and apparently derived from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. This is a case of 17-year-old Korean female with the neurilemoma of the tongue. Chief complaint of the patient was painless palpable mass on left tongue body. Diagnosis was established by histologic examination after simple surgical excision of tumor mass. A brief review of related literatures was made.
