Neural sheath tumors are rarely encountered in the oral cavity. The most common location is the tongue and thereafter, the sites in order of frequency are the buccal mucosa, the floor of the mouth, palate, lips and gingiva. The need to differentiate between Neurofibroma and Schwannoma is imperative in as much as the first one shows a much greater propensity for malignant transformation when associated with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. We present a case of Neurofibroma localized in the tongue which appeared as a sessile nodule of 0.3 X 0.4 cm. After extensive surgical ablation there was no further recurrence in 5 years follow-up.
神经鞘瘤在口腔中很少见。最常见的部位是舌头，其次，按频率排序的部位依次是颊黏膜、口底、腭、唇和牙龈。鉴于神经纤维瘤与冯·雷克林豪森神经纤维瘤病相关时发生恶性转化的倾向大得多，因此必须区分神经纤维瘤和施万细胞瘤。我们报告一例位于舌部的神经纤维瘤，表现为一个0.3×0.4厘米的无蒂结节。广泛手术切除后，5年随访未再复发。
