Abstract
A case of type 1 neurofibromatosis is presented that illustrates oral manifestations and their role in the diagnosis of this condition. The oral lesions may be overlooked in the diagnosis of intraoral swellings . This case documents the finding of perineural fibrous thickening wit hin the dental pulp. Such changes may indicate pulpal involvement in n eurofibromatosis and the effect of a genetically transmitted disorder upon the pulp.
