“…NF also known as von Recklinghausen disease is a genetically inherited disease, which was first described in 1882. [2] NF occurs in two distinct variants, and they differ from each other genetically, histologically, and clinically. NF-1 is one of the most common AD inherited disorders, the prevalence being 1 in 2500-3300, characteristic feature being peripheral nerve sheath tumors and NF, leading to symptoms, and disfigurement.…”

“…[3] Usually, oral lesions occur on the buccal, palate, alveolar mucosa, vestibule, and the tongue, as discrete, non-ulcerated nodules, tending to be of the same color as the normal mucosa. [2] Hereby, we report an interesting case of PN of the lip swelling, an unusual, and an extremely rare site.…”

“…[1] It is usually seen as a solitary lesion or as part of the generalized syndrome of NF (usually NF-1, also called von Recklinghausen disease of the skin). [2] The solitary form is not associated with systemic and hereditary factors whereas the generalized form is associated with the same. World Health Organization subdivided NF into two broad categories: Dermal and plexiform.…”

“…Other clinicopathological subtypes include localized NF (sporadic NF), diffuse NF, plexiform neurofibroma (PN), and epithelioid NF. [2] PN usually represents an anomaly rather than a true neoplasm, where the proliferation of Schwann cells is seen from the inner aspect of the nerve sheath and thus resulting in an irregularly thickened, distorted, and tortuous structure. This NF usually shows diffuse enlargements of multiple fascicles of the nerves and its branches.…”

Neurofibromas (NF) are seen either as a solitary lesion or as part of the generalized syndrome of NF (NF-1, also known as von Recklinghausen disease of the skin). In plexiform neurofibroma (PN), there is a proliferation of Schwann cells from the inner aspect of the nerve sheath, thereby resulting in an irregularly thickened, distorted, and tortuous structure. Oral involvement by a solitary and peripheral PN in patients with no other signs of NF is rarely seen. It is reported that only 4-7% of patients affected by NF display oral manifestations. A solitary PN in a patient with no other symptoms is a diagnostic challenge, more so when the location of the lesion is one of the rarest sites.

Background This paper discusses clinical features and management aspects of an extremely rare entity, neurofibroma of the external nose. Methods Database searches were performed using PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar to identify previously published articles. Results Twelve articles comprising 13 patients with neurofibroma of the external nose were included. The mean age of presentation was 31 years. Sixty-nine per cent of patients were diagnosed at final histopathology. External approach rhinoplasty was performed in 76.9 per cent of patients, while the intranasal approach was used in 15.3 per cent of patients. There was a 15.3 per cent association with neurofibromatosis type 1. Recurrence was noted in 23 per cent of patients. Conclusion It may be challenging to diagnose this entity clinically because of its rarity and striking features on histopathology. Neurofibroma of the external nose should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for any soft progressive swelling over the nose. Management requires complete excision, with cosmesis and restoration of functions.

The study of oral pathology is challenging but fascinating. By relating to the things we see frequently, a simple, straightforward method might reduce the tiresome effort of memorization of pathological features. In clinical, radiological, or histological representations, many diseases frequently resemble different foods. Thus, oral pathologists frequently name these diagnostic representations after food entities that we use in daily life to make the study of oral pathology easier and more fascinating. So, in an effort to make the study of oral pathology easier and more entertaining, we have endeavoured to assemble the culinary analogies that we employ in oral pathology.
