Schwannoma of the Lower Lip, A Rare Entity: Case Report
Abstract :
Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are solitary benign tumors arising from nevre sheath schwann cells. Tongue is involved most frequently and they rarely occur in the lip area. Histopathological examination is the chief method of diagnosis and complete excision is the treatment of choice. Our report documents an unusual case of a schwannoma located in the lower lip of a 21 year old male patient emphasizing that schwannoma should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of any lower lip mass.
