    Abstract:
    Neurogenic tumors are rare in the oral cavity, particularly so when malignant. Traumatic neuroma, although usually included with neurogenic tumors, is a reactive process rather than a true neoplasm. Neurofibroma and schwannoma derive from nerve fibers, the perineurium, the endoneurium and the neurolemmomal cells. They present histological differences. The neurofibroma may present in solitary and generalized types; the latter also known as neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen's disease of the skin. We here report typical cases of benign neurogenic tumors of the oral cavity.
