A 56-year-old male patient with no significant clinical history manifested lumbar pain, macroscopic hematuria and dysuria. Radiology images found a renal mass in the upper right pole at the pyelocaliceal level. A partial nephrectomy was performed to resect the tumor, and histology revealed the diagnosis of a renal epidermoid cyst, which is an infrequent lesion with a benign biological behavior. Its etiology is still controversial, but its clinical course is satisfactory after complete resection of the lesion.
Introducción: el neurofibroma es un tumor benigno derivado de las fibras nerviosas muy infrecuente en la cavidad oral.Caso clínico: paciente masculino con neurofibroma gigante originado en la cavidad oral con extensión al cuello. Fue manejado quirúrgicamente con resección completa, sin presentar recidiva tumoral. Se hizo diagóstico histopatológico y confirmación con inmunohistoquimica.Conclusión: a pesar de ser infrecuentes en la cavidad oral, los neurofibromas deben sospecharse cuando el tumor tiene estrecha relación con el paquete vasculonerviosodentario inferior.
