Neurofibromatosis with central neurofibroma of the mandible: review of the literature and report of case

J Oral Surg. 1977 Sep;35(9):733-8.

Abstract

The clinical, radiographic, and etiological factors of neurofibromatosis have been discussed. A rare case of a large neurofibroma of the mandible in association with systemic neurofibromatosis and a characteristic mandibular dysplasia has been presented. The unique coexistence of mandibular dysplasia associated with sphenoidal and orbital dysplasia should be considered in the diagnosis of multiple neurofibromatosis.
