ABSTRACT: Solitary neurofibromas of the palate are rare benign tumors, and their occurrence without syndromic association is even less common. We present a case of a 82-year-old patient with a painless, slow-growing lesion on the hard palate. Clinical examination and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a non-syndromic solitary neurofibroma. Surgical excision was performed, and no recurrence was observed during the 24-month follow-up. This report emphasizes the importance of recognizing these uncommon lesions, distinguishing them from other palatal masses, and highlights the role of histopathology in definitive diagnosis.
