Abstract

|
Neurofibromatosis type 1, an autosomal dominant disorder with prevalence of 1 per 3000 people, has clinical features of cafe au lait spots in skin, multiple neurofibroma and dysplasia in skeletal, endocrinal, and blood vessel systems. Actual intraoral neurofibromas are known to occur in 25% of patients. A 9 year-old girl diagnosed with type 1 neurofibromatosis visited our hospital with chief complaint of gingival swelling. Gingival enlargement in lower anterior region existed and cafe au lait spots were confirmed in patient’ skin. Enlarged gingival tissue were excised under local anesthesia. Neurofibroma was confirmed with biopsy. Clinical examination after months showed fine recovery without any evidence of recurrence. Due to its possibility of recurrence, periodic follow-up will be needed.
