Abstract
|
|
|
|
Schwannoma is a benign, solitary tumor which may arise from the nerve sheath of the peripheral, sympathetic and cranial nerves. It is a characteristically slowly growing, well-encapsulated mass. About 25-45% of schwannoma occurs in the head and neck region with which the acoustic nerve is most frequently involved. Schwannoma arising in the tongue is extremely uncommon. In this study, we have experienced a case of schwannoma arising from tongue tip in 16-year-old male. We report this case with a literature review.
