Abstract

Schwannoma is a benign, encapsulated, slow-growing and generally solitary tumour that arise from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. Approximately 1–12% occur intraorally with the tongue being one of the site. We report a case of schwannoma of the tongue in a 33-year-old male patient. It presented as a slow growing mass of the tongue. We did the surgical excision of the tumour with the help of CO2 laser, and the patient is in follow-up and is asymptomatic from the last 7 months.
