Abstract

Solitary neurofibromas (SNFs) are rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Unlike neurofibromatosis,
SNFs occurs as single entities. They are uncommon in the oral cavity, and it is even rarer in the floor of
the mouth. When encountered in the oral cavity the differential diagnoses should consist of both benign
and malignant tumors. A rare case of solitary benign neurofibroma occurring as an exophytic lesion in the
floor of the mouth is being reported.
