Spontaneous Hemothorax in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report
Background: Neurofibromatosis type1 (NF-1) is a hereditary autosomal dominant disease that is accompanied by complications, such as benign and malignant tumors and vascular involvement, including pulmonary hypertension, artery stenosis, and pulmonary artery aneurysm. Spontaneous hemothorax is a rare and lethal complication of NF-1 due to vasculopathy as stenosis or aneurysmal modifications of l...
متن کاملSpontaneous decrease of a pilocytic astrocytoma in neurofibromatosis type 1.
A patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis was followed up with neuroimaging over a period of 12 years. A spontaneous decrease in the size of a histologically verified pilocytic astrocytoma was documented on serial CT and MR examinations. Subsequent studies showed the development of a lesion in the contralateral hemisphere with mass effect and contrast enhancement. Results of a biopsy disclosed no...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor receptor expression in neurofibromatosis type 1-related tumors and NF1 animal models.
We have found that EGF-R expression is associated with the development of the Schwann cell-derived tumors characteristic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and in animal models of this disease. This is surprising, because Schwann cells normally lack EGF-R and respond to ligands other than EGF. Nevertheless, immunoblotting, Northern analysis, and immunohistochemistry revealed that each of 3 malig...
متن کاملSegmental Neurofibromatosis Type 1, a Rare Variant of Neurofibromatosis: Report of Two Cases
Segmental neurofibromatosis type I (SNF-I) is a rare variant of neurofibromatosis (NF). It is classified as NF type V and defined as cafe'-au-lait macules and/or neurofibromas in a single ,unilateral segment of the body .We report two cases with SNF-I with striking similar manifestations.
متن کاملMassive, Spontaneous Facial Hematoma in a Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Patient
Significant hemorrhage in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) patients occurs infrequently, but has potentially devastateing consequences when occurring in the head and neck region. There have been no prior reports of patients with hemodynamically significant, rapidly-expanding lesions into a neurofibroma in the head and neck region without preceding trauma. This case describes the management of a ...
