Neurinoma or schwannoma is an uncommon benign tumor that arises primarily from the nerve sheath of Schwann cells. About 25% has been reported in head and neck region extracranially, but only 1% in the intraoral origin. Intraorally, the tongue is the most common site followed by the palate, floor of the mouth, lips and buccal mucosa. In review of literature, intraoral schwannoma of the lingual nerve origin has not been reported frequently. So, we present a case of intraoral neurinoma of the lingual nerve.
神经鞘瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,主要起源于施万细胞的神经鞘。据报道,约25%发生于颅外头颈部区域,而起源于口腔内的仅占1%。在口腔内,舌是最常见的部位,其次是腭、口底、唇和颊黏膜。在文献回顾中,起源于舌神经的口腔内神经鞘瘤报道并不常见。因此,我们报告一例起源于舌神经的口腔内神经鞘瘤病例。
