Giant pre-sacral neurofibroma.

We report a case of pre-sacral neurofibroma diagnosed on a routine medical examination. The pathological features and management criteria of these rare tumours are discussed.

Floret-like multinucleated giant cells in neurofibroma

This short report discusses a case of neurofibroma containing floret-like multinucleated giant cells. This being the second such case in the literature. Floret-like multinucleated giant cells have been reported in gynaecomastia and neurofibroma in neurofibromatosis type 1. These cells have been reported in uncommon soft tissue tumours including pleomorphic lipoma, giant cell collagenoma, giant ...

Multidisciplinary treatment of a giant craniofacial neurofibroma with intratumoral hemorrhage.

A 19-year-old man presented with a rapidly growing right craniofacial lump and headache for 9 days, with vision loss in the right eye and no other manifestation of neurofibromatosis or neurologic disturbance. Imaging revealed a giant lesion with intratumoral hematoma and adjacent bone dysplasia (figure, A and B). The tumor and the involved right eye (figure, C) were removed following preoperati...

Surgical treatment of giant plexiform neurofibroma associated with pectus excavatum

They are almost always congenital lesions and often cause the surrounding soft tissue and bone to grow aberrantly. We treated a 12-year-old boy who presented with asymmetric pectus excavaum and an anterior chest wall plexiform neurofi...
