title: Spindle and epithelioid cell nevus of tongue at an unusual site.
abstract: A case of spindle and epithelioid cell nevus of the tongue is presented. It shows unusual and distinctive desmoplasia and cells containing melanosomes identified by histochemical and electron microscopic techniques. We believe this is the second case, but the first fully documented report, of this unusual nevus of tongue reported in the literature.
