Subarachnoid Block in Prone Position for Giant Gluteal Neurofibroma

Giant Solitary Neurofibroma in the Gluteal Area of a Patient without Neurofibromatosis.

Neurofibromas are benign tumours arising from neurons andperineural cells. Although they are common inneurofibromatosis, occasionally solitary neurofibromas may occur. A rare case of solitary neurofibroma presenting as a giant gluteal mass in a male patient without a personal or family history of neurofibromatosis is presented. Pre-operative imaging gave useful information about the extent of t...

Surgically treated solitary giant gluteal and retroperitoneal neurofibroma: a case report

The riddle of multinucleated “floret-like” giant cells and their detection in an extensive gluteal neurofibroma: a case report

INTRODUCTION The neurofibromatoses are inherited tumor predisposition syndromes involving two major clinical phenotypes: neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen's disease) is linked to chromosome 17q, and tends to occur seven times more frequently than neurofibromatosis type 2. Neurofibromatosis type 1 entails a distinctive cutaneous manifestation prevailed upon by benign neurofibromas, wh...
