EXTRA-OSSEOUS SOLITARY HARD PALATE NEUROFIBROMA- A CASE REPORT | |
Sachin Kumar, Varun Verma | |
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a term that has been applied to a variety of related syndromes, characterized by neuroectodermal tumors arising within multiple organs and autosomal-dominant inheritance. Neurofibroma may occur as solitary lesion or as part of a generalised syndrome of neurofibromatosis or very rarely as multiple neurofibromas without any associated syndrome. There are two distinct variants of neurofibromatosis type I and type II. We present a case of neurofibroma of the hard palate associated with neurofibromatosis type I. Diagnosis was made on the basis of history, clinical findings and histopathology. Literature was reviewed and incidence and frequency of different cases reported in oral cavity including treatment and recurrence are discussed.
