Abstract
A benign neural sheath neoplasm arising from the investing tissues of the inferior alveolar nerve and presenting as a facial swelling is described. Of interest and importance was the associated finding of the so-called organ of Chievitz within the initial biopsy specimen. Its recognition as a vestigial structure and not a pathological entity is emphasized.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
