A case of neurilemmoma at the ventral surface of the tongue was reported with a review of the literature.

To investigate the clinical outcomes of posterior laminectomy on intraspinal neurilemmoma. Twenty-seven patients with intraspinal neurilemmoma admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Changzhou Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2010 to October 2015 were selected, and they received posterior laminectomy, and there were 5 patients whose nerve root and tumor were removed tog...

PURPOSE Receptor 7 (CXCR7) has recently been characterized as a novel receptor for CXCL12/SDF-1 (stromal cell derived factor-1). Given the demonstrated importance of CXCL12/SDF-1 in angiogenesis and tumour metastasis, we hypothesized that CXCR7 may also play a role in tumour pathogenesis. Located in the limited space of the intracranial cavity, any brain tumours can be inherently serious and li...
