A case of solitary neurofibroma in the maxillary gingiva
JOURNAL OF SURGICAL CASE REPORTS(2022)
Abstract
Neurofibromas are benign tumors. They are known to be a manifestation of von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis type 1) and tend to be generalized and rarely solitary. In this report, we present a case of solitary neurofibroma in the maxillary gingiva. A 39-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of swollen gingiva. There were no special findings in her medical or family history. After a biopsy was performed under local anesthesia and a diagnosis of neurofibroma was made, tumor resection was performed under general anesthesia. The patient's progress was good, with no recurrence.
