Abstract:
Rare Solitary Neurofibroma of the Palate in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report:Neurofibroma is a benign nerve tumour originating from the peripheral nerve sheath, a variable mixture of Schwann cells, perineural-like cells, and fibroblasts. it may arise either as a solitary tumour or be a component of neurofibroma and von Recklinghausen’s disease. In rare cases, multiple neurofibromas may develop without any associated syndrome. The solitary type seldom affects the head and neck areas, particularly the oral cavity. Although some cases have been documented on the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, lips, and gingiva, neurofibromas on the hard palate are extremely rare. These tumours usually present as firm, well-defined, and elastic masses without a capsule. We present a case report with a very rare solitary neurofibroma of the palate in a four months old girl.
