Neurinoma may be found in all parts of the body, however, the occurrence in the oral region is relatively rare and reports of neurinoma of the lip are very few. In this report we discuss a case of neurinoma of the lower lip which we experienced clinically.
The subject is a 27-year-old male who had appeared at our hospital with the chief complaint of swelling of the lower lip. The clinical diagnosis was benign tumor of the lower lip. Resection of the tumor was performed under local anesthesia. The tumor was diagnosed histopathologically as neurinoma of Antoni A type partially with Antoni B type.
The patient has been in a good condition postoperatively and there is no evidence of recurrence.
