Abstract:
Schwannomas are benign tumors that are rarely found in the oral cavity. We presented a schwannoma arising from the parasympathetic fibers of the lingual nerve, which is the first in the literature to our knowledge. Its borders in computerized tomography are not well defined despite the contrast medium.
