A case of von Recklinghausen disease with a palatal tumor occurring in a 48-year-old man is presented. The patient had many cafe-au-lait spots and elastic-like soft cutaneous tumors extending all over the body. At the center of the hard palate mucosa, a small fingertip-sized tumor was observed. This lesion was excised under local anesthesia and submitted for microscopic examination. The histopathological diagnosis was neurofibroma. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and stabilized dentures were inserted.
