Abstract

A neurofibroma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor. They occur in combination with neurofibromatosis or as a solitary mass. Intraoral neurofibromas pose diagnostic difficulties, suggesting the appropriate use of diagnostic markers and clinical knowledge. Here, we report a case of intraoral neurofibroma in a 57-year-old female who reported with the complaint of painless growth in the lower left back tooth region for the past three years. Based on the clinical features, provisional diagnosis of traumatic fibroma was made. However, histopathology proved it to be a benign spindle cell lesion; upon further investigation by immunohistochemistry, it was diagnosed to be a case of neurofibroma.
