Neurilemmoma (Schwannoma) is a tumor derived from Schwann cell of the neurilemmal sheath. It is reratively rare desease especially in the oral region. Mostly it emerges from the tongue, the buccal mucous membrane and the palate.
A 37-year-old man visited the Chonnam University Hospital in May, 1988, with chief complaint of painless swelling in the left cheek. Computed tomography revealed well defined round tumor mass in the left infratemporal fossa. The patient underwent
surgical excision of the tumor via Weber-Ferguson incision. The tumor sized about 92×45×35mm was well encapsulated by thin fibrous capsule and removed en block. Histopathological findings were neurilemmoma composed of Antoni A and B type
tissue.
The result of surgery was excellent. And careful observation is paid to the prognosis of the patient.
