摘要: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve which mostly develop in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Surgical interventions usually not applied to children small tumors. These rather restricted debulking larger adults that cause clinical complications or aesthetic disfigurement. In most cases, a total resection PNF is possible due network-like growth Early surgical intervention was carried out for 9 PNFs 7 NF1 children. Tumor performed following graphical delineation affected skin and according MRI findings. Total achieved all without causing any neurological organic deficit. Annual magnetic resonance tomography over period four years did reveal relapse superficial have various advantages may especially be considered strategy prevent progression.
