Abstract:
A 54-year-old man had a 1.0 *0.8cm sized, reddish, slightly firm tumor mass on the right side of his tongue. Some 30 years ago, he bit his tongue with considerable bleeding. Since then, he has experienced irritation at the previous bit site, particularly after eating irritaible foods or smoking. About 5 years ago, he felt a pea sized mass exactly at the bit site which gradually increased in size. The histopathologic findings of skin biopsy specimen show typical features of neurilemmoma consisted of Antony type A and type B tissue.
