Neurilemmoma may be found in all parts of the body, however, the occurrence in the oral region is very rare and reports of Neurilemmoma of the oral floor are few. In this report, we discussed a case of Neurilemmoma in the oral floor which we experienced clinically.
A-74-year-old female was referred to our clinic with the chief complaint of a painless swelling of the oral floor. In the preoperative diagnosis, MRI and ultrasonography were very useful, especially ultrasonography provided much information concerning clinical and pathological behavior of the tumor. The removal of the tumor was performed by intraoral surgical procedure under general anesthesia. Histopathological diagnosis was Neurilemmoma (Antoni-type B) .
The clinical course of the patient was uneventful without evidence of recurrence after surgery.
