Neurofibromas are benign tumours originating from the nerve sheath. Amongst the histological variants, plexiform types are considered exclusive. These are poorly circumscribed, locally invasive and may exhibit sarcomatous potential. Plexiform neurofibromas are key features of Neurofibromatosis - 1 and their solitary intra-oral presentation is uncommon. The following case report describes a unique case of an isolated solitary plexiform neurofibroma of the maxillary anterior gingival region in a middle aged female patient.
神经纤维瘤是起源于神经鞘的良性肿瘤。在组织学变异类型中,丛状型被认为是独特的。这些肿瘤边界不清,具有局部侵袭性,且可能具有肉瘤变潜能。丛状神经纤维瘤是神经纤维瘤病1型的关键特征,其孤立性口腔内表现并不常见。以下病例报告描述了一名中年女性患者上颌前牙龈区孤立性丛状神经纤维瘤的独特病例。
