Cellular Neurothakeoma in a Relatively Rare Site.

A 54-year male presented to a private dental clinic with the chief complain of an asymptomatic nodular swelling on his left buccal mucosa. Family history and past medical history were not relevant to the present swelling. Intra-oral examination revealed a dome shaped nodule on the left buccal mucosa measuring 2 x 1 cm in dimension. The color of the lesion was pink without ulceration (Figure 1). On palpation, the lesion was found to be firm and non-tender. A provisional diagnosis of fibroma with differential diagnosis of lipoma was given. The lesion was surgically excised under local anesthesia and the excised tissue was sent for histopathological evaluation (Figure 2) to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, NIMS Dental College, Jaipur. No recurrence was noted.
