本研究的目的是描述两例涉及口腔舌的神经鞘瘤的临床病理学和放射学特征，并回顾这一不寻常的临床实体的文献。病例报告回顾了两名舌神经鞘瘤患者的病理、放射学和临床数据。回顾了 1955 年至 2006 年舌神经鞘瘤（神经鞘瘤）病例报告的文献，并对患者的年龄、性别、出现的症状、肿瘤大小和手术方法进行了分析。我们系列中的两名患者出现无痛舌头肿胀。两例均接受经口切除术，病理检查证实神经鞘瘤的诊断。过去 51 年来，英语文献中总共报道了 126 例舌神经鞘瘤病例。舌头神经鞘瘤通常出现在三十多岁时（33%），没有性别倾向（52.8% 女性；47.2% 男性），并且通常表现为无痛性肿块（69.6%）。当神经鞘瘤发生在舌头后三分之一（63.2 比 13.5%）或最大尺寸接近 3 厘米（33.0 比 18.2 毫米）时，可能会引发令人痛苦的症状。绝大多数病例采用经口切除术（94.8%）。尚未有手术切除后复发的报道。舌神经鞘瘤是一种相对罕见的头颈部肿瘤。经口切除术可以以防止复发、避免引起舌功能发病的方式切除肿瘤，并且仍然是治疗绝大多数此类肿瘤的标准方法。
The aim of this study was to describe clinicopathologic and radiographic features of two cases of schwannoma involving the oral tongue and to review the literature of this unusual clinical entity. Case reports with review of the pathologic, radiologic and clinical data for two patients with schwannoma of the tongue are reported. Review of the literature of case reports of schwannomas (neurilemmomas) of the tongue from 1955 to 2006 with analysis of the patient’s age, gender, presenting symptom(s), tumor size, and surgical approach was undertaken. The two patients in our series presented with painless swelling of the tongue. Transoral excision was performed and pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma in both the cases. A total of 126 cases of schwannoma of the tongue have been reported in the English literature over the past 51 years. Schwannomas of the tongue typically present in the third decade of life (33%), display no gender predilection (52.8% female; 47.2% male) and often present as a painless mass (69.6%). Schwannomas are likely to elicit distressing symptoms when they occur in the posterior one-third of the tongue (63.2 vs. 13.5%) or approach 3 cm in greatest dimension (33.0 vs. 18.2 mm). The vast majority of cases have been treated with transoral excision (94.8%). Recurrence after surgical excision has not been reported. Schwannoma of the tongue is a relatively rare tumor of the head and neck. Transoral resection allows for removal of this tumor in a manner that precludes recurrence, avoids causing morbidity of tongue function, and remains the standard approach for the treatment of the vast majority of these tumors.
