    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol; 2012 Feb; 113(2):161-7. PubMed ID: 22669111.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: A 33-year-old woman presented with a slow growing palatal gingival mass. The clinical differential diagnosis included benign tumors and tumor-like lesions, including the pyogenic granuloma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, giant cell fibroma, peripheral odontogenic tumors, and oral focal mucinosis. STUDY DESIGN: The lesion was excised and histopathological examination followed by immunohistochemical staining was carried out. RESULTS: The microscopic findings and the immunohistochemical reactivity was diagnostic for a nerve sheath myxoma. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical features, microscopic findings, immunohistochemistry, and the differential diagnosis including the relationship to the neurothekeoma are discussed.
