A comparison between the clinical behavior of neurilemmomas in the neck and oral and maxillofacial region.
The records of 49 patients with neurilemmoma in the neck and oral and maxillofacial region (OMR) were reviewed. The results showed some location-related differences in clinical behavior, including six cases of recurrence and two cases of malignant change found in the OMR. It was suggested that anatomic factors play an important role in the poor prognosis of tumors in the OMR.
