A Case of Neurofibroma Presenting as a Nasolabial Mass

ABSTRACT

Neurofibroma is a benign neurogenic tumor thatmost often occurs in the head and neck region. However, a solitary neurofibroma on the nasolabial fold is extremely rare, with only a few reported cases reported in the English literature. A 45-year-old woman with a nasolabial mass visited our department, and we performed an excisional biopsy using asublabial approach. The histopathology of the mass revealed it to be neurofibroma. We report a unique case of neurofibromain thenasolabial region with an associated literature review. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has previouslybeen reported in Korea.
