A case of an intraoral myxoid nerve sheath tumour of the dorsum of the tongue in a 73‐year‐old Caucasian male is reported. This case describes the oldest patient with this pathology to date. Immunoperoxidase staining for neuron‐specific enolase (NSE) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) expression demonstrated the perineural origin of the lesion.
