Popis: | Neurobroma is a benign tumour of peripheral nerves composed of schwann cells and endoneural broblasts. It may occur as solitary lesion or a syndromic condition as Von-Recklinghausen's disease or very rarely as multiple neurobromas without any association with neurobromatosis syndrome. Solitary neurobromatous lesions that occur in the buccal mucosa mimic the appearance of traumatic broma unless other extra-oral features indicate the diagnosis towards the former. We are reporting the case of solitary melanotic neurobroma without any tell-tale signs of neurobroma extra-orally but proved to be so with the assistance of histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. |
