title: An unusual case of multiple intraoral manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1: case report with literature review.
abstract: The various oral manifestations of neurofibromatosis in dentulous patients have been documented in literature. Although most of the previous documents have discussed on common findings like a prominent lingual papillae, or solitary overgrowth of gingival soft tissue, this article focuses on a relatively rare occurrence of multiple nodular manifestations of Neurofibromatosis-1 on an edentulous alveolar ridge, tongue, palate and lips of an elderly female patient.
