Résumé
Neurilemmomas are benign, slowly growing tumors originating from Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. The precise cause is unclear. They commonly occur in the head and neck region (25-48% of cases) and rarely in the oral cavity (1%). While lingual schwannomas can develop at any age, they are most frequently seen between the ages of 30 and 60 years. In this case, a 19-year-old female was diagnosed with a lingual schwannoma. She had experienced painless swelling along the left side of her tongue for two years. The examination revealed a non-tender, soft to firm, 2x1 cm lump on the left side of the tongue, covered by healthy mucosa, with no signs of cervical lymph node enlargement. The lesion was completely excised under local anesthesia for histopathological evaluation. Histological examination revealed spindle cells with slender, undulating nuclei in Antoni A and B regions. The prominent nuclear palisading feature typical of schwannomas was evident.
