Neurofibroma (NF) is a benign tumour of the peripheral nervous system which is rare in head and neck region. Head and neck NF are mostly located in the soft tissue and rarely seen intraosseously. These may present either as solitary lesions or as part of the generalised syndrome of neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen's disease of the skin. The intraosseous ones are most commonly seen as solitary lesions, rather than part of neurofibromatosis. The following report describes a unique case of a solitary neurofibroma of the maxilla without generalised syndrome of neurofibromatosis in a male patient.
神经纤维瘤（NF）是一种周围神经系统的良性肿瘤，在头颈部区域较为罕见。头颈部神经纤维瘤大多位于软组织，很少见于骨内。这些肿瘤可表现为孤立性病变，或作为神经纤维瘤病或皮肤型冯·雷克林豪森病综合征的一部分。骨内神经纤维瘤最常表现为孤立性病变，而非神经纤维瘤病的一部分。以下报告描述了一名男性患者上颌骨孤立性神经纤维瘤的独特病例，该患者无神经纤维瘤病综合征。
