Abstract
- Schwannoma is a benign, solitary tumor which may occur from nerve sheath of the peripheral, sympathetic and cranial nerves and so on except optic and olfactory nerves which have no nerve sheath themselves. Although it occurs most frequently in the head and neck region especially in the acoustic nerve, the schwannoma of the tongue is rare. Recently, we have experienced a case of schwannoma of the tongue in a 13-year-old female. Now we report the case with literature review.
