Abstract: Gingival involvement by solitary neurofibroma without any other signs of neurofibroma is uncommon. It is often considered as a benign tumor with an unknown etiology. In this case report we present an unusual case of solitary neurofibroma of gingiva. A 33 year old female patient was presented with swelling in relation to her lower front teeth. On examination, the swelling was found to be painless, non-ulcerated, sessile and smooth. The lesion was treated by excisional biopsy using diode laser and diagnosis was confirmed with the histologic section. There were no signs of recurrence clinically after the 6 months follow up.
