【 摘 要 】

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the presence of benign skin tumors, alterations in the nervous system, bones and endocrine glands. It may be followed by mild mental retardation, convulsions, malignant tumors, osseous dysplasia and abnormal pigmentation. The aim of this paper is not only to report the case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 with manifestation in the oral cavity, represented by the presence of a large nodular mass in the tongue, but also to undertake a brief review of this condition. The work concluded that, despite the fact that neurofibromatosis type 1 is a rare condition, which may present manifestations in the oral cavity, its study is of paramount importance to dental surgeons and multidisciplinary groups.
