Abstract
Von Recklinghausen's disease, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), is an autosomal dominant neurogenetic disorder that is known to have characteristic symptoms such as peripheral nerve sheath tumor, neurofibromas, café-au-lait macules and pigmented hamartomas of the iris, called Lisch nodules. Cases of NF1 accompanied by radiological abnormalities of the jaw bones have been reported. In this article we present a case of NF1 with a tongue mass of neurofibroma accompanied on both sides by enlargement of the mandibular canals and mental foramens.
