Neurofibromas are defined as benign tumours arising from peripheral nerve sheaths. Few intraoral palatal cases have been reported. Neurofibromas can occur as part of neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1) or type 2 (NF2). A 41-year-old patient presented with a slowly enlarging soft tissue mass on the hard palate. An incisional biopsy was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of a neurofibroma associated with NF1. It should be considered that there is a chance of malignant transformation. Here, we discuss the clinical features, types, diagnosis, histopathology and treatment options.
神经纤维瘤被定义为起源于周围神经鞘的良性肿瘤。很少有口腔内腭部的病例报道。神经纤维瘤可作为神经纤维瘤病 1 型（NF1）或 2 型（NF2）的一部分发生。一名 41 岁的患者因硬腭上逐渐增大的软组织肿块就诊。进行了切开活检，证实诊断为与 NF1 相关的神经纤维瘤。应该考虑到有恶变的可能。在此，我们讨论其临床特征、类型、诊断、组织病理学和治疗选择。
