Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe the clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of 12 cases oi palisaded Encapsulated neuromas occurring on oral mucosa. The lesions were found in adults w ith a mean age of 54 years (median 58 years), and the most common site s of involvement were;he palate and the maxillary labial mucosa. On mi croscopic evaluation the lesions were well circumscribed, and the tumo r cells were spindle-shaped with a fascicular and sometimes whorled pa ttern, The tumor cells were consistently intensely positive for S-100 protein.
