We report a case of an isolated plexiform neurofibroma occurring in a patient with myasthenia gravis. A 48-year-old man presented with asymptomatic skin-colored nodules on the tip of his 4th finger. Microscopically, a plexiform neurofibroma was identified located in the dermis that appeared to originate from small superficial nerves. He had a 20-year history of treated myasthenia gravis; otherw...
Neurofibromas are benign tumors from patients with von Recklinghausen Neurofibromatosis (NF1) that are comprised primarily of Schwann cells. These Schwann cells are found both in association with axons and in the extracellular matrix that is prevalent in neurofibromas, and in which fibroblasts are also abundant. An unresolved question has been whether cells in neurofibromas are normal cells or ...
A tumor of nerve origin is relatively rare in the oral region. We report a neurofibroma of the tongue observed in a 34-year-old woman.
In classical Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (Type I), skeletal defects occur as a result of abnormalities of derivatives of the neuroectoderm and mesoderm. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders caused by neurofibroma in the joint capsule or disc have not been reported previously in the English language literature. A case of neurofibroma in the TMJ articular disc in a 29-year-old woman w...
482 PEDIATRICS, September i959 P LEXIFORM NEUROFIBROMA is a subject which presents many very interesting problems which have been discussed only sporadically in the literature. The most striking finding in the start of a search for a concise presentation of the disease is the difficulty in uncovering an apt description of either gross or microscopic picture. We have collected here a brief resum...
Schwannomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are quite rare, with 4% occurring in this location. Most of them are benign and do not recur when totally removed by surgery. It is very important to distinguish between schwannoma and primary benign neurofibroma. Neurofibromas are lesions having the possibility for malignant transformation and recurrence. A case of schwannoma in the nasal c...
Lost in Translation: Ambiguity in Nerve Sheath Tumor Nomenclature and Its Resultant Treatment Effect
There is much ambiguity surrounding the diagnosis of nerve sheath tumors, including atypical neurofibroma and low-grade MPNST, and yet, the distinction between these entities designates either benign or malignant behavior and thus carries presumed profound prognostic importance that often guides treatment. This study reviews the diagnostic criteria used to designate atypical neurofibroma from l...
Neurofibromatosis is a common inherited autosomal dominant disease, but genitourinary neurofibroma is rare. The unpredictable nature of neurofibromas has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients, and their management is challenging for clinicians. We present a 9-year-old girl with plexiform neurofibroma of genitourinary system associated with pulmonary hypertension, masquerading as s...
Neurofibroma of the scalp are mostly multiple as part of neurofibromatosis or other phakomatosis. De novo solitary types are less common and rarely erode the skull, unlike the intracranial counterpart. Skull erosion has been reported in adults with longstanding plexiform neurofibromas. We report a giant neurofibroma on the scalp of a five-year-old boy, managed in our center. Although this condi...
Neurofibroma of the soft palate is an unusual tumor and probably only two cases have been reported in English literature previously. Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen's disease is even more infrequent. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the third reported in English literature. Complete surgical excision was achieved after t...
