Neurillemoma - Rare Localization

Neurilemmoma (Schwannoma) is a common, histologically distinctive, benign, usually encapsulated, peripheral nerve tumor of Schwann cell origin. We report a case of nerilemmoma arising from a soft tissue near the mandible. A 53-year old female is presented in our hospital with painless swelling of lingual mucosa of mandible. The first molar on the right side of the mandible was extracted before 20 month. The shape of shift was suspected to residual cyst. Panoramic x-rays were perfomed, it was impossible to determine prior to surgery that this was a peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The lesion was completely removed, the tumor probably originated extraossealy and extended into the mandible creating secondary erosion.
