Abstract

Nerve sheath myxoma is a benign tumor of the peripheral nerves that rarely occurs in the lip area. Among the few reported cases, no lesion has previously been reported on the lip in Korea. We report a case of nerve sheath myxoma occurring on the lip of a 34 year-old woman with a brief review of the literature.
