NEGREIROS LYRIO, M.C. et al. Type I neurofibromatosis with periodontal and lingual manifestations: a case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2008, vol.30, n.3, pp.185-190. ISSN 2173-9161.
Von Recklinghausens disease, or type I neurofibromatosis (NF-1), is an autosomal dominant condition with a varied clinical expression. Disease manifestations may range from café au lait spots of the skin to severe cosmetic and functional complications that affect bone and nervous tissues. Oral manifestations of NF-1 are common, affecting approximately 72% of patients. We report a case of NF-1 with neurofibromatous lesions of the lower alveolar bridge and tongue. Resection was indicated due to the difficulty of maintaining oral hygiene.
