Abstract

Neurilemmoma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumour arising from schwann cells. It is relatively uncommon; around 25% to 48% of all cases occur in the Head and Neck region. Only 1% occur in the oral cavity and tongue being the most common site. Here, we report a case of a 40-year-old female patient with swelling in the junction of the hard and soft palate on the left side for 15 years. Due to its duration, site, and nature, it mimicked a glandular neoplasm. Clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings confirmed it as a neural tumour -Neurilemmoma.
