Abstract

The neurofibroma is a benign tumor of nerve tissue origin derived from cells that constitute the nerve sheath. It is seen as a solitary lesion or as part of a generalized syndrome of neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen disease of the skin). The skin is the most common site for neurofibromas. Oral lesions though found in a minority of patients with the generalized syndrome are not uncommon. The tongue and buccal mucosa are the most common sites. On rare occasions, the tumor can arise centrally within the bone. The intraosseous maxillary location is even rarer. We present a case of neurofibroma that presented in the maxilla of a young girl.
