contents <p><span lang="EN-IN">Schwannomas commonly occur in the head and neck but infrequently involve the oral cavity and rarely affect the tongue. Here we are presenting clinical and histopathological feature of 36-year-old female presenting to our OPD (outpatient department) with tongue lesion. The lesion was asymptomatic. We had done local excision of the lesion and sample sent for histopathological examination. On histopathological examination reveals a circumscribed submucosal lesion comprising alternate hypocellular (Antoni A) and cellular (Antoni B) zones. The Antoni B areas shows plenty of verocay bodies in the form of nuclear palisading along acellular materials confirmed it was schwannoma of tongue. No recurrences were observed on clinical follow-up. Schwannoma of the tongue, although rare, should be separated from other types of lingual nerve sheath proliferations and tumors.</span></p>
