Oral Solitary Neurofibroma with Ossification
Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Solitary neurofibroma is a benign neoplasm of neurogenic origin i.e. Schwann cell and perineural fibroblasts. We report a case of solitary neurofibroma in the oral cavity with the unusual occurrence of osseous metaplasia within the tumour. It is important for the pathologist to recognize these secondary features of metaplastic bone forma- tion in the soft tissue tumours to avoid erroneous diagnosis.
