Comedone-like changes overlying neurofibromas

Neurofibromas on the Hands

Multiple radiation-induced neurofibromas.

A 49-year-old woman had received radiotherapy at the axillar, clavicular, and left laterocervical regions for Hodgkin lymphoma. Fifteen years later, she reported progressive loss of strength and sensation in her left arm. The patient had no stigma of neurofibromatosis or any other genetic mutation. Cervical MRI showed neurofibromas (figure 1). A cervical laminectomy was performed and multiple n...

Progesterone receptor expression in neurofibromas.

Neurofibromas are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath, which occur sporadically and in association with the common familial cancer syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1. There are intriguing links between the growth of neurofibromas and levels of circulating hormones: neurofibromas often first appear around the time of puberty, increase in number and size during pregnancy, and shrink afte...

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Retinal Microvascular Changes Overlying Choroidal Nodules in Neurofibromatosis Type 1

PURPOSE To report 3 cases of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with choroidal nodules associated with retinal microvascular changes imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS Small case series in 3 NF1 patients. OCTA examinations were performed by a trained examiner (J.J.) after pupillary dilation. A standard scan, centered over the macula measuring 6 × 6 mm and 3 × 3 m...
