Oral neurofibroma: A case report

Abstract

Neurofibroma is a benign, slow growing nerve sheath neoplasm of heterogeneous origin and usually painless. Oral cavity neurofibroma is a rare entity. We report a case of a 16?year?old male who had history of a slow growing swelling on right side of mouth. 3D CT revealed 2.3x 1.1x 1.3 cm sized a hyperdense lesion arising from inferior alveolar arch of mandible on right side. Surgical excision of lesion was done and diagnosis of solitary oral neurofibroma of the mandible was confirmed by histopathology.
