| Abstract: |
Neurofibroma is the most common type of peripheral nerve neoplasm arising from a mixture of cell types, including schwann cells and perineurial fibroblasts. We report two unusual cases where patients presented with intraosseous swelling of the jaw. A complete examination followed by Imaging and histopathological examination were advised. Imaging showed ill-defined radiolucency in one case and well defined corticated radiolucency with soap-bubble appearance in the other case. Biopsy with adjuvant immunohistochemistry revealed features suggestive of neurofibroma. Both cases were managed surgically. The second case in the male patient, also showed multiple recurrences and subsequent transformation into atypical neurofibroma. In spite of being a benign tumor, neurofibroma is locally aggressive. Commonly found in soft tissues of the body, neurofibromas are rare in the head and neck region. But the intraosseous location of this tumor in the mandible is an exceptional case.
