Palatal swellings associated with multilesional disorders: report of cases.
Two cases with similar initial oral manifestations, i.e., solitary, unilateral soft tissue palatal swellings, were presented. These two cases represented separate and distinct conditions, multiple lipomas and neurofibromatosis. These conditions were reviewed briefly, together with tuberous sclerosis, as conditions in which both oral and multiple cutaneous nodules may be present.
