Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), described by von Recklinghausen in 1882, is one of the most common genetic diseases and has widely variable expressivity. Oral manifestations are common and can be found in a large percentage of NF1 patients. Coexistence of Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) in patients with NF1 was reported in the literature, but a genetic link between CGCG and NF1 is presently not well established. The aim of this article was to report a clinical case of NF1 associated with a CGCG lesion in the maxilla.
