Unusual Evolution of Plexiform Neurofibroma in the Scalp: A Case Report

The neurofibromatosis is a frequent and polymorphic genetic disorder. The severity is related to the complications. The degeneration of neurofibroma is a very rare complication of neurofibromatosis. In the literature, a few cases of solitary neurofibroma, which turned into a malignant tumor were reported. In our case, we described a very rare clinical case of neurofibrosarcoma in the scalp, and...

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...

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,...

Plexiform Neurofibroma Treated with Pharmacopuncture

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to report a case of a plexiform neurofibroma (PNF) in the pelvic region treated with sweet bee venom (SBV) and mountain ginseng pharmacopuncture (MGP). METHODS A 16-year-old girl was diagnosed as having PNFs, neurofibromatosis type 1, 10 years ago and she had surgery three times to remove the benign tumors, but the growth of the PNFs continued. She has ...
