Background: Neurofibromas are rare benign tumors of neural origin, usually associated with Neurofibromatosis type 1, an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome. However, they can also be solitary, and appear in the oral cavity. Gingival localization is rare and takes a hypertrophic form associated with an attachment loss that can mimic a plaque-induced-periodontal disease.
