Plexiform Neurofibromatosis A Surgical Answer for Management
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2015, Vol 68, Issue 8
Abstract
Massive plexiform neurofibromatosis is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of Type 1 neurofibromatosis. These tumours result in functional disability and severe disfigurement. Due to the variable natural history of these lesions, the optimal management is not well defined and surgery is often delayed until significant disfigurement has occurred. The aim of this report is to discuss the optimum timing of surgical intervention and to highlight the difficulties in dealing with an advanced lesion.
