Neurofibromas (NF), rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, are typically linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). This case report presents a rare instance of a neurofibroma located in the mandible of a 12-year-old male patient, who presented with localized swelling and discomfort in the lower jaw. Clinical examination revealed a firm, nontender mass on palpation. Investigations such as radiography and computed tomography were done, followed by surgical excision. This case underscores the importance of considering neurofibromas in the differential diagnosis of mandibular lesions and highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach in management. The case adds to the literature by detailing the presentation, imaging characteristics, and treatment options for neurofibromas in the oral and maxillofacial region, underscoring the need for heightened clinical awareness of such rare occurrences.
神经纤维瘤（NF）是一种罕见的良性周围神经鞘瘤，通常与1型神经纤维瘤病（NF1）相关。本病例报告呈现了一例罕见病例，一名12岁男性患者的下颌骨出现神经纤维瘤，表现为下颌局部肿胀和不适。临床检查发现触诊时有一个质地坚硬、无压痛的肿块。进行了诸如放射摄影和计算机断层扫描等检查，随后进行了手术切除。本病例强调了在鉴别诊断下颌病变时考虑神经纤维瘤的重要性，并突出了多学科管理方法的必要性。该病例通过详细描述口腔颌面部神经纤维瘤的表现、影像学特征和治疗选择，丰富了文献资料，强调了对此类罕见病例提高临床认识的必要性。
