Unilateral 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 کاملSolitary Non Syndromic Oral Plexiform Neurofibroma: a Case Report and Review of Literature
In oral cavity neurogenic tumors are rare, especially if they are malignant. Neurofibromas are the benign tumors of nerve sheath origin involving multiple nerve fascicles of the smaller branches of peripheral nerves. They may present as solitary lesions or as a part of generalized syndrome of neurofibromatosis also known as von Recklinghausen's disease (VRD) or very rarely as multiple neurofibr...

The solitary ones are extraneural and more common, histologically exhibiting spindle cells with wavy nuclei, scattered among collagen fibers. Multiple neurofibromas are seen in neurofibromatosis (types I and II), including intr...
متن کاملIdentification of growth hormone receptor in localised neurofibromas of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1.
BACKGROUND The hallmark of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the development of multiple neurofibromas. Solitary neurofibroma may occur in an individual who does not have NF1, but multiple neurofibromas tend to develop only in those with NF1. It has been suggested that hormones may influence the neurofibromas of patients with NF1. The evidence that hormones may influence the growth of neurofibr...
متن کاملSolitary neurofibroma of the gingiva with prominent differentiation of Meissner bodies : a case report
BACKGROUND Oral neurofibromas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors, similar to schwannomas. Histological variations in oral neurofibromas are relatively uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present a case of unique variation in the observed characteristics of a neurofibroma, with no relation to neurofibromatosis type-1 or von Recklinghausen disease of the skin. The neurofibroma was observed in ...
