Abstract in English
Neurofibromas (NFs) are rare neurogenic tumors of the oral cavity. They can present as solitary or multiple when associated with neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1)/von Recklinghausen's disease. Solitary intraoral NFs unassociated with NF-1 are sporadic and mimic any other soft tissue tumor of the oral cavity. The authors report a case of a 49-year-old deaf-mute lady who presented with slowly growing solitary mass in the anterolateral aspect of the tongue, which was successfully managed in the outpatient clinic with complete excision and base cauterization under local anesthesia without complicationsز
