摘要

源自於舌神經之神經纖維瘤在臨床上極為少見，病灶處以舌頭最常出現。大部分的神經纖維瘤均無法明顯判斷神經的來源。我們報告一位神經纖維瘤病的患者，以下頜部腫瘤為表現的臨床病例，術前診斷為來自下頜腺或是淋巴腺之腫瘤。經由完整的手術切除及病理組識學檢查，提供正確的診斷。因此罹患神經纖維瘤病的患者，出現下頜腺腫瘤時，分佈於此處的神經所長出的神經纖維瘤亦須納入鑑別診斷。

A neurofibroma of the lingual nerve is a rare clinical finding, the most common lesion site of a lingual neurofibroma being the tongue. In most situations, it is difficult to determine the precise nerve origins. Herein, we report a case of lingual nerve neurofibroma that presented as a submandibular mass, mimicking a submandibular gland tumor or solitary lymphadenopathy. Complete surgical excision of such a lesion for histopathologic examination provides a better treatment and final diagnosis. For a patient presenting with neurofibromatosis and a submandibular mass, a neurofibroma of nerve origin should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
