Dr. Navneet Agarwal, Dr. Raghav Sharma, Dr. Ritu Agarwal

Abstract :

 Neurilemmomas are well–encapsulated, benign, slow–growing tumors originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath surrounding cranial, peripheral, or autonomic nerves. Intraoral neurilemmomas are relatively rare (25 to 45 % of neurilemmoma occur in head and neck region out of these 20% are intra oral with tongue being most commom site). Neurilemmoma of sub lingual gland are even more rare. They have a wide variety of morphologic and radiologic features. This makes differential diagnosis difficult, and only histopathological features can lead to a definitive diagnosis. In this report, we present the case of a 55 –year–old woman who presented to Department of ENT Dr. S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur,Rajsthan,India  whose chief complaint was a solitary, nodular mass in the floor of the mouth on left side . The mass was removed completely through an intraoral surgical approach. Wound healing was uneventful and there were no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
