Abstract
We present the case of a 54-year-old lady with a right 12(th) nerve neurinoma with ipsilateral hemiatrophy of the tongue and spontaneous regression after 1 year of follow-up. The management choices range from surgery, as the gold standard, to radiosurgery or a combination of both. Our case highlights the importance of considering careful observation and diligent follow-up as a modality of treatment as these lesions can show spontaneous regression with no invasive approaches.
