ABSTRACT
Schwannomas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Approximately 25% of extracranial schwannomas are located in the head and neck district, but only 1% shows an intraoral origin. We report a case of a 28-year-old patient with a tongue schwannoma. Morphologic analysis and immunohistochemical findings strongly support the diagnosis. Surgical treatment is discussed.

ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors distinguished in cardiac and extracardiac forms. Extracardiac rhabdomyomas are classified as adult type, fetal type, and the genital type. Adult extracardiac rhabdomyomas are mostly found in the head and neck and usually present a slow growth. We report a case of a patient with a manifestation in the submandibular and sublingual glands.
