Sumario:Neurofibroma of the soft palate is an unusual tumor and probably only two cases have been reported in English literature previously. Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen's disease is even more infrequent.

We present a 40-year-old man with an uncommon soft palatal neurogenic tumor.
