title: Solitary myxoid neurofibroma of the soft palate.
abstract: The neurofibroma is a benign tumor of neural origin, not frequently located in the oral cavity, and, especially, extremely rare in the soft palate. When it occurs solitarily, it is a spontaneous tumor without any internal manifestations. We report a case of an isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen disease.
