Popis: Schwannomas are benign, slow growing, solitary and encapsulated neuroectodermal tumors arising from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Twenty-five percent of all extracranial schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region. Intra-oral schwannomas are rare and commonly seen at the tongue base. In this article, a 20-year-old female case with lingual schwannoma as a rare clinical condition and characteristics of the disease were summarized in the lights of the literature.
