Abstract

Solitary intraosseous neurofibromas of mandible are very rare and only 40 cases are documented. This case report presents one of the youngest documented case of solitary neurofibroma of mandible, in a 2-years old male child. The tumour was symptomatic and presented as a swelling over right posterior region of mandible. The patient underwent conservative excision under general anaesthesia. The inferior alveolar nerve was preserved. Histopathology was suggestive of benign nerve sheath tumour. Immunohistochemistry showed moderate S-100 and strong CD34 positivity. Postoperative healing was uneventful. This report also reviews forty previously reported cases of solitary intraosseous neurofibromas of the mandible.
