Abstract
Plexiform neurofibroma (PN) is a rare, benign tumor of nerve sheath origin, which frequently manifests as part of neurofibromatosis type 1. The article presents a case of solitary PN in a 4-year-old girl, which manifested as a double lip and without systemic or familial involvement. A review of the literature on solitary PN in the oral soft tissue demonstrates the scarcity of such cases.Entities:
