Palisaded encapsulated [solitary circumscribed] neuroma of the buccal mucosa: a rare case

ABSTRACT

The rarity of oral soft tissue spindle cell tumors combined with overlapping microscopic patterns can make challenges in their diagnosis and treatment. Oral cavity palisaded encapsulated neuroma is an uncommon lesion which occurs often on the hard palate.
