Abstract
Schwannomas are peripheral nerve tumours of nerve sheath origin. Extracranially, about 25% of all schwannomas are located in the head and neck, but only 1% show an intraoral origin. The intraoral lesions show a predilection for tongue. We report a case of schwannoma in a 39-year-old male, located on the tongue. Diagnosis is made by histological examination of the lesion. The treatment is surgical excision of the lesion.
