We report a rare case of intraosseous neurilemmoma of the mandible, with an
emphasis on radiographic findings. The tumor, located mainly in the premol
ar region, presented as an expansive, unilocular, well-defined, radiolucent
lesion on plain radiography. No dilatation of the mandibular canal was ide
ntified. MR imaging helped to identify the solid nature of the tumor. A bio
psy was necessary to make the final diagnosis because of the relatively non
specific nature of the lesion.
