An Unusual Case of Multiple Intraoral Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Case Report with Literature Review

Abstract

The various oral manifestations of neurofibromatosis in dentulous patients have been documented in literature. Although most of the previous documents have discussed on common findings like a prominent lingual papillae, or solitary overgrowth of gingival soft tissue, this article focuses on a relatively rare occurrence of multiple nodular manifestations of Neurofibromatosis–1 on an edentulous alveolar ridge, tongue, palate and lips of an elderly female patient.
