title: [Neurinoma of the tongue].
abstract: The authors describe one case of neurinoma of the tongue, recently come to their observation, and offer a clinical and anatomopathological presentation of this heteroplasia. In the light of a careful search of existing literature they estimate the incidence of this tumor both versus neurinoma located elsewhere in the body versus pathological processes located in the tongue. In particular, they call attention to problems of differential diagnosis posed by neurinoma in clinical terms and in the pathologist's laboratory, in relation to other tumors and infectious processes observed in the tongue.
