Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated, slowly-growing tumor of the developing neural sheath’s Schwann cells. Aetiology is unknown. They are often seen in the head and neck region. Only 1% of them are encountered in the oral cavity. Tongue is the most common location in the oral cavity region. A 16-year-old male patient admitted to our clinic with a history of slowly growing swelling on the tip of the tongue. Diagnosis was confirmed by excisional biopsy. There was no recurrence in follow-up of 1 year after the operation. Because of its rarity in oral cavity specially in pediatric age, the case is presented.
