Solitary circumscribed neuroma, also known as palisaded encapsulated neuroma is a benign neural tissue tumour. This is usually an asymptomatic and often misdiagnosed pathology in the head and neck region. Lip lesions have a broad differential diagnosis. Clinician's awareness and accurate diagnosis are vital for their appropriate management. Here, we present a case report of solitary circumscribed neuroma of the lip, with a one year follow-up.
