ABSTRACT

Solitary neurofibromas have been reported in the literature, but they are very rare cases. By definition they occur in patients who do not have Von Recklinghausen disease, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner; It occurs more frequently in men. It is a benign tumor that can appear solitary or multiple. Its appearance in the oral cavity is usually very rare, but its site of preference is the tongue, followed by the alveolar mucosa, palate, and gingival gingiva. They appear more frequently during the third decade of life, although cases from 10 months to 70 years of age are described. This report will present the clinical case of a 17-year-old female patient who came to the Centennial Dental Clinic for consultation presenting an elevated lesion covering part of the anatomical crowns in dental pieces in the left upper jaw and in the report. Neurofibroma was diagnosed from the Immunochemical-histological study, with S-100 expression. We consider the recognition of these intraoral growths of utmost importance in order to establish a true and truthful definitive diagnosis of the situation.
