Abstract
Solitary neurofibroma in the oral cavity is rare. We have reported a solitary neurofibroma occurred on the tongue, which is first such reported in Japan.
A 33-year-old woman visited our clinic with a main complaint of swelling of the left undersurface of tongue. The swelling was primarily red bean size, but it enlarged to thumb size for one year. We didn't find cafe-au-lait spots nor tumors on the skin of her whole body. The tumor was excised and was relatively circumscribed but non encapsulated. Pathological diagnosis was neurofibroma.
Electron microscopic findings are also discussed.
