A middle-aged Chinese woman presented with a slowly enlarging mass over the right side of her face that was later proven histologically to be a plexiform neurofibroma. This was associated with a localised depression over her right temple. There were no other features of neurofibromatosis-1. The presentation and biological behaviour of plexiform neurofibromas are reviewed in this manuscript. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of plexiform neurofibromas with their surrounding structures, as well as the postulated mechanisms by which this occurs.
一名中年中国女性右侧面部出现一个逐渐增大的肿块,组织学检查后来证实为丛状神经纤维瘤。这与她右颞部的局部凹陷有关。没有神经纤维瘤病1型的其他特征。本文对丛状神经纤维瘤的临床表现和生物学行为进行了综述。特别关注了丛状神经纤维瘤与其周围结构的相互作用,以及这种相互作用发生的假定机制。
