Abstract

Schwannomas are tumors originating from nerve sheath cells. They are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Their etiology is not precisely known. Twenty seven- year-old female patient was presented to our clinic with a mass in her tongue existing for 15 years. From her history we learned th at the mass was small and painless at first, and in th e last 1-2 months it grew and started to cause pain. Her oral examination revealed an about 1x1 cm gray colored hard mass, raising from surface on the right side of the tongue. Histopathologic examination of the totally excised mass was reported as schwannoma. The patient having no problem postoperatively was called for follow up. We presente d this case because schwannomas are rare and sh ould be thought in the differential diagnosis of oral cavity masses.

Özet

Schwannomlar sinir kılıfı hücrelerinden köken alan tümörlerdir. Oral kavitede oldukça nadir görülürler. Etyolojileri tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Yirmi yedi yaşında bayan hasta 15 yıldır varolan dilinde kitle şikayetiyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Hikayesinden, kitlenin önceleri küçük ve ağrısızken son 1-2 aydır büyümeye ve ağrı yapmaya başladığı öğrenildi. Hastanın oral muayenesinde dilinin sağ lateral kısmında yaklaşık 1x1 cm lik yüzeyden kabarık, gri renkli, sert bir kitle görüldü. Total olarak eksize edilen kitlenin, histopatolojik inceleme sonucu schwannom olarak rapor edildi. Operasyon sonrası bir problemi olmayan hasta kontrollere çağrılarak taburcu edildi. Bu olguyu dil schwannomlarının nadir görülmesi ve oral kavite kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmesi gerektiği nedeniyle sunduk.
