Neurofibroma is a benign tumor of nerve tissue origin, derived from the cells that constitute the nerve sheath. It is commonly found in soft tissues, but the intraosseous occurrence of solitary neurofibroma in the head and neck is comparatively rare, with the most common site being mandible. This article presents a case report of neurofibroma on the posterior right side of the mandible of a 13-year-old boy who is the youngest patient in the series along with a review of literature.
神经纤维瘤是一种起源于神经组织的良性肿瘤，由构成神经鞘的细胞衍生而来。它常见于软组织，但头颈部孤立性骨内神经纤维瘤的发生相对罕见，最常见的部位是下颌骨。本文报告了一例13岁男孩下颌骨右后侧神经纤维瘤的病例，该男孩是该系列中最年轻的患者，并对相关文献进行了综述。
