Abstract

Neurofibroma (NF) is a benign nerve tumor originating from the peripheral nerve sheath. NF can occur as a solitary lesion or as part of the Von Recklinghausen disease syndrome. The solitary type rarely involves the head and neck regions, especially the oral cavity. However, few reports mention that NF appears on the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, lips, and gingiva. This paper reports a very rare case of solitary NF in the palate. Has been reported, 37-year-old male patient with a solitary neurofibroma of the palate that is not associated with systemic symptoms. Complete mass extirpation has been carried out using the oral method and the transpalatal approach. This case has a good prognosis but the risk of recurrence, malignancy transformation or associated neurofibromatosis syndrome may occur so observation needs to be done.
