abstract={Schwannoma is a nerve sheath tumour originating from the Schwann cell of nerve sheath. We present case report of a 30 year old female who presented with a swelling on the right lateral border of the tongue since 1 ? years with notable increase in size for past two months. The swelling was a solitary, mobile, well defined mass, firm in consistency. It was associated with constant irritation from the palatally placed lower right canine. Regional nodes were not palpable. A provisional diagnosis of traumatic fibroma was made. The patient underwent complete enucleation with primary closure. Histological examination after surgical excision revealed schwannoma. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. There was no recurrence after the removal of the mass during the past 2 years of follow up.},
