Abstract

We report the features of a central neurilemmoma in the mandible of a patient having an inflammatory apical dental (radicular) cyst in the same region. A 29-year-old woman complained of numbness on the right side of the lower lip of 3 months duration and noted following endodontic therapy to the right mandibular first molar tooth. Panoramic radiography revealed a bilocular radiolucency in the right body of the mandible. Excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathology revealed neurilemmoma of the mandible in concurrence with inflammatory apical dental (radicular) cyst. No recurrence was detected during a 1-year follow-up.
