A case of solitary central neurofibroma of the mandible arising in a 70-year-old man is reported. The patient had a radiolucent lesion, measuring 16. mm in diameter, with central radiopaque freckles in the right incisor-canine region of the mandible, which was discovered incidentally during routine dental check-up. The lesion was persisted for 10 years without any symptoms or complication. It was clinically diagnosed as benign tumor and surgically removed under general anesthesia. Histologically, the removed tumor was relatively well demarcated and composed of a sparse proliferation of elongated spindle-shaped cells with wavy nuclei in loosely textured connective tissue stroma, which was associated with bone formation. Clinicopathological features of central neurofibroma of the jaw bone are reviewed from the literature. This is the first report of central neurofibroma arising in the anterior part of the mandible. © 2012 Asian AOMS, ASOMP, JSOP, JSOMS, JSOM, and JAMI.
