Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple manifestations, including the presence of neurofibromas. These benign lesions can potentially affect every site of the body; its location in the head and neck region is not uncommon, but the oral cavity, and specially the tongue, are rarely affected. We aim to present a case of a giant recurrent neurofibroma of the tongue in a NF1 patient, conditiong obstructive symptoms, as well as to ouline its successful treatment with topical mitomycin-C as an adjuvant therapy to surgical ressection. Keywords: neurofibromatosis; neurofibroma; recurrence; airway obstruction.
