Plexiform neurofibroma in the submandibular gland along with small diffuse neurofibroma in the floor of the mouth but without neurofibromatosis-1: a rare case report

Plexiform neurofibroma is more commonly seen in the orbit, neck, back, and inguinal region. It is extremely rare in the submandibular gland. These lesions rarely transform into malignancy but are locally infiltrative and can lead to haemorrhage. Therefore, plexiform neurofibroma should always be considered during differential diagnosis while excising a submandibular gland mass. We present here ...

Giant plexiform neurofibroma causing asymptomatic cervical spinal cord compression in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1.

To cite: Gold JJ, Levy ML, Crawford JR. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013009799 DESCRIPTION A 12-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) presented with a giant mass involving the posterior head and neck. The mass was present since 6 months of age and showed considerable growth over the past 2 years that caused extensive disfigurement t...

Extensive plexiform neurofibroma in a premature neonate.

We describe a premature neonate with an extensive plexiform neurofibroma. Prenatal ultrasound at 32 weeks of gestation was normal. Postnatal examination was significant for a palpable left neck mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head demonstrated a mass involving the left cavernous sinus with spreading to the left orbital region. MRI of the neck was positive for extensive adenopathy,...

Teaching neuroimages: MRI "target sign" and neurofibromatosis type 1.

A 9-year-old girl presented with a firm occipital swelling. She had multiple café-au-lait lesions without other clinical features or family history of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). MRI showed subcutaneous soft tissue mass in the left occipitotemporal region with “target sign” suggestive of plexiform neurofibroma (figure 1). There were supra and infratentorial T2-weighted hyperintense lesions,...
