Popis: | Neurilemmoma is a benign neoplasm believed to arise from the Schwann cell of the neural sheath. Although it may develop in any places of the medullated nerves where they exist, it is rarely seen in the oral cavity, particularly in the lip.Recently we experienced a case of neurilemmoma arising in the upper lip of a 73-yearold female. The tumor was diagnosed histopathologically as a neurilemmoma of Antoni A type. |
