NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE I : CASE REPORT

Uncommon Oral Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis Type I: A Case Report

Pediatric zygomaxillary neurofibromatosis type 1: case report.

N eurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a genetic disorder predominantly affecting tissues derived from neural ectoderm producing a multifocal neurocutaneous disease. It is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance and phenotypic expression, affecting one in 2500-3300 live births. A closely related condition, neurofibromatosis type-2 (NF-2) occurs much less frequentl...

A case report of neurofibromatosis

Introduction:Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disease characterized by multifocal benign tumors of peripheral nerves, called neurofibromas, and pigmented spots on the skin which inherited as autosomal-dominant. The most common form of the disease is neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen's disease of the skin. When an individual has small number of lesions in a limited region ...

Primary prostate solitary neurofibroma without neurofibromatosis-I: a case report and narrative review of the literature

Neurofibroma of the prostate is an extremely rare benign tumor, particularly when it is not associated with neurofibromatosis-I (NF-1). This study aimed to report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with dysuria for about 4 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the prostate with “target sign” on T2-weighted imaging. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathologic...

Orbitotemporal Neurofibromatosis: Case Report

Plexiform neurofibromas occur in about 60% of neurofibromatosis type 1(NF-1) patients and can lead to severe morbidity by disfigurement or compression of vital structures. Moreover, these tumors can undergo malignant transformation. Both focal and localized bone abnormalities are part of the phenotypic expression of NF-1. We report a rare case of severe cranioorbital plexiform neurofibromatosis...
