Abstract

Schwannoma is a relatively uncommon, slow-growing benign tumor that is derived apparently from the Schwann cell. Tongue originated schwannomas are exceedingly rare within 1% and therefore often are not immediately included in the differential diagnosis and oral cavity tumors. In the current study, authors report a case of a schwannoma located at the tongue of a 49 years old patient treated by complete surgical excision. The patient is under clinical control, with no signs of recurrence even after 6 months.
