Abstract

Neurilemmoma is the most commonly encountered nerve sheath tumour of the oral cavity. It generally appears as a single encapsulated nodule. The tongue is involved most frequently and the lip rarely. The tumour is usually uninodular. Multinodular neurilemmoma of the upper lip is very rare and has been reported in only one patient. This is the first reported case of multinodular neurilemmoma in the upper lip of a female.
