Abstract
Neurilemmoma is not uncommon elsewhere in the body, but it is rare in the oral cavity. Here, we report a case of a neurilemmoma located in the lower lip, in a 23-year-old female. The patient complained of a painless swelling of the lower lip. During the course of the first medical examination, a circumscribed, elastic hard, movable, oval mass measuring 16×16mm was found in the lower right lip. The clinical diagnosis was a benign tumor of the lower lip. The lesion was totally excised under local anesthesia. From histopathological findings it was diagnosed as a neurilemmoma (Antoni Type A and B). There was no evidence of recurrence in the patient 4 months after the operation.
