Abstract

Neurofibroma is one of the peripheral nerve tumors and is derived from an admixture of Schwann cells and perineural fibroblast proliferations.<BR>. In this study, the case of a 24-year-old female with a solitary neurofibroma of the cheek was documented, and the appearances in the oral region were reviewed. The enucleated tumor revealed a white, smooth surface and measured approximately 20-10mm. Histopathologically, the tumor was encapsulated and composed of proliferations of spindle-shape cells and wavy collagen fibers in a myxomatous stroma. The tumor cells were positive for immunostaining of S-100 protein. Neither cafe au lait spots nor other neurofibromas were observed on physical examination. Related literatures indicated that this solitary neurofibroma of the cheek was a rare case.
