Resection of small plexiform neurofibromas in neurofibromatosis type 1 children
BACKGROUND: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve which mostly develop in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Surgical interventions are usually not applied to children with small tumors. These are rather restricted to debulking of larger tumors in adults that cause clinical complications or aesthetic disfigurement. In most cases, a total resection of...
متن کاملUnilateral and multiple nodular plexiform Neurofibromas: An uncommon presentation of Neurofibromatosis type 1
Plexiform neurofibroma is a rare variant but pathognomonic of von Recklinghausen disease. We report an uncommon presentation of neurofibromatosis type I in a girl. This 11-year old girl had multiple plexiform neurofibromas on her left hand, and also several Lisch’s nodules. Classification and clinical features are discussed briefly with emphasis on the possibility this condition may not be give...
متن کاملManagement of head and neck plexiform neurofibromas in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1.
OBJECTIVES To identify presenting symptoms, growth patterns, and outcomes of head and neck plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1); to determine which patients may benefit most from operative intervention in terms of duration of disease-free progression, perioperative morbidity, identification of malignancy, and symptom relief. DESIGN A retrospective rev...
متن کاملIdentification of Growth Hormone Receptor in Plexiform Neurofibromas of Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of growth hormone receptor in plexiform neurofibromas of neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. INTRODUCTION The development of multiple neurofibromas is one of the major features of neurofibromatosis type 1. Since neurofibromas commonly grow during periods of hormonal change, especially during puberty and pregnancy, it has been sugg...
متن کاملNeurofibromatosis Type 1 Presenting with Plexiform Neurofibromas in Two Patients: MRI Features
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as peripheral neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen's disease, is one of the most common genetic disorders. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Multiple cutaneous neurofibromas are hallmark lesions of NF1. Localized and plexiform neurofibromas of the paraspinal and sacral region are the most common abdominal neoplasms in NF1. Herein, we...
