Abstract

The solitary neurofibroma is a benign tumor of neuronal origin uncommonly reported in the oral cavity. The possible association of this neoplasia with systemic pathologies, such as von Recklinghausen’s disease and multiple endocrine neoplasia, makes its diagnosis fundamental. Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen’s disease is an unusual tumor and probably only four cases have been reported in English literature previously. To the best of our knowledge, our case of soft palate neurofibroma in 17-year-old male represents the fifth reported in English literature, for which complete surgical excision was achieved with uneventful healing.
