Abstract
A case of neurilemmoma of the tongue in a 19-year-old female was reported. The patient complained of the tumor in the tongue, speech disorder and dysphagia at the time of admission.
The tumor was removed without difficulty under general anesthesia.
The tumor measured 4.2×2.5×2.6cm in dimensions and weighed 15g. Histopathological examination revealed well vascularized neurilemmoma, which was made up of so-called type “A” and type “B” tissues and had a large degeneration cavity.
The patient has been released from her suffering without any recurrence 3 months after the operation.
