Beyond Excision: Cryotherapy as a Non-surgical Treatment for Palatal Solitary Neurofibroma.
Curēus 2024 April
Palatal solitary neurofibromas (SNFs), not linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, are uncommon. A 45-year-old female with a palatal SNF underwent non-surgical treatment using liquid nitrogen cryotherapy (LNC). The lesion, initially 9 x 8 x 3 mm, was treated with two 1-2 minute freeze-thaw cycles, progressively extended to two 2-2 minute freeze-thaw cycles to address the refractoriness. After four LNC sessions, the lesion resolved without recurrence at five months. This case demonstrates LNC's efficacy as a surgical alternative for palatal SNF, offering a non-invasive option for patients declining surgery. The positive outcome warrants further research into LNC's role in managing similar benign lesions.
