Abstract
We present two cases of tongue schwannoma in two young males. The unusual, exogenetic clinical manifestation might be a big challenge for most dentists in making a correct diagnosis. The two patients had no special genetic or environmental background. Both patients denied cigarette smoking or alcohol abuse. Physical examination of the cervical lymph nodes yielded negative results. Their astonishing medical histories revealed that both had self-injurious practices using sharp instruments. The diagnosis of tongue schwannoma was confirmed by histopathology, revealing typical Antoni type A and B areas, and reactivity with S-100 by immunohistochemistry. The lesions were excised transorally under local anesthesia with no signs of recurrence for more than two years.
期刊介绍：
Diagnostic Pathology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers research in surgical and clinical pathology, immunology, and biology, with a special focus on cutting-edge approaches in diagnostic pathology and tissue-based therapy. The journal covers all aspects of surgical pathology, including classic diagnostic pathology, prognosis-related diagnosis (tumor stages, prognosis markers, such as MIB-percentage, hormone receptors, etc.), and therapy-related findings. The journal also focuses on the technological aspects of pathology, including molecular biology techniques, morphometry aspects (stereology, DNA analysis, syntactic structure analysis), communication aspects (telecommunication, virtual microscopy, virtual pathology institutions, etc.), and electronic education and quality assurance (for example interactive publication, on-line references with automated updating, etc.).
