Solitary Central Neurofibroma of the Mandible

Solitary, intraosseous neural tumours of the jaws are a rare occurrence. Central neurofibromas are benign tumours of non-odontogenic origin. Neurofibromatosis may present with soft tissue lesions in the head and neck region. However, occasional cases of such tumours arising within the jaw bones have been reported. We report a case of central neurofibroma in a young female patient with a brief review of literature.
