abstract: Mucosal neuroma is rare neurogenic tumour that arises in the oral cavity as a component of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b (MEN 2b). We present the case of a histologically confirmed solitary mucosal neuroma of the hard palate in a 49-year-old woman with no other components of MEN 2b.
