Uncommon Oral Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis Type I: A Case Report

Oral plexiform neurofibroma not associated with neurofibromatosis type I: case report.

An unusual case of isolated plexiform neurofibroma arising in the oral cavity without other clinical manifestations or family history of neuro-fibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is described. The tumor was histopathologically analyzed and an immunohistochemical panel comprising S-100 protein, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), collagen IV, and CD34 was performed.

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia associated with neurofibromatosis type 1: an unusual complication.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (formerly known as von Recklinghausen's disease) is an autosomal dominant disorder, which results from the proliferation of the neural crest cells, thus affecting any organ system. Several pulmonary manifestations have hitherto been reported, including chest wall deformities, diffuse lung disease, thoracic neoplasms, pulmonary arterial hypertension, central hypoventilat...

Spinal Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis: an Update

Background and Aim: Neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1) is a common genetic condition in children. It is becoming increasingly recognized that in neurofibromatosis, there might be anomalous development of bone with or without any local anomaly of neuro-ectodermal basis. This review was conducted to highlight the different features of spinal disorders in this congenital disease. Methods and Materials: Di...
