Pigmented neurofibroma is a rare, benign neoplasm arising from the neural crest. The clinical and histological diagnosis is often difficult to make. In this report, a case of pigmented neurofibroma in the superciliary arch in a 19-year-old man, which was confirmed histopathologically, is presented.
