# Pacinian Neurofibroma of Oral Cavity: A Rare Neurogenic Tumor

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of Pacinian neurofibroma in the oral cavity, associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.

## Contribution

The study presents a rare intra-oral case of Pacinian neurofibroma linked to neurofibromatosis type 1.

## Key findings

- Pacinian neurofibroma is typically found on hands and feet, not in the oral cavity.
- The tumor was associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, which is uncommon for this tumor type.
- The case contributes to understanding the clinical and microscopic features of this rare tumor.

## Abstract

Pacinian neurofibroma is a rare variant of neurofibroma composed of structures resembling pacinian corpuscles at various stages of maturation. It is a rare neurogenic tumor which has been reported predominantly on hands, and feet, where pressure receptors are typically located. It usually presents as a solitary nodule and is not reported in associated with von Recklinghausen’s disease or any other syndrome. The intraoral site is unusual. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of intra-oral pacinian neurofibroma associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 and to describe its clinical and microscopic features contributing for the best knowledge about this rare entity.
