초록

Neurilemmomas are uncommon benign tumors originating from the schwann cells of various cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and autonomic nerves. About 25% of the disease is found in the head and neck region and the most common single site of origin is known to be the acoustic nerve. However neurilemmomas of the peripheral segment of the lingual nerve are extremely rare neoplasms. We recendy experienced a case of a benign neurilemmoma of the lingual nerve and this case may be the second to be reported in the literature.
