Abstract: Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor of the oral cavity derived from the cells that constitute the nerve sheath neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen's disease, is the most common type of neurofibromatosis and accounts for about 90% of all cases. It is one of the most frequent human genetic diseases, with the prevalence of one case in 3,000 births.

“…Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumour of the oral cavity derived from the cells that constitute the nerve sheath neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also for about 90% of all cases. Oral cavity involvement by a solitary and peripheral plexiform neurofibroma in patients with no other signs of neurofibromatosis is uncommon [21]. Oral manifestations can be found in almost 72% of NF1 patients [21].…”
