Abstract

The aetiology, clinical and histological features of neurilemmomas of the oral and paraoral regions are briefly outlined. Two cases of atypical neurilemmomas of the tongue are described with an intent to document the partial encapsulation and multilobular distribution of the neurogenic tissue noted in these two lesions.
