Abstract

Neurobroma is a benign tumour of peripheral nerves composed of schwann cells and endoneural broblasts. It may occur as solitary lesion or a syndromic condition as Von-Recklinghausen's disease or very rarely as multiple neurobromas without any association with neurobromatosis syndrome. Solitary neurobromatous lesions that occur in the buccal mucosa mimic the appearance of traumatic broma unless other extra-oral features indicate the diagnosis towards the former. We are reporting the case of solitary melanotic neurobroma without any tell-tale signs of neurobroma extra-orally but proved to be so with the assistance of histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis.
