A RARE CASE OF OF GIANT PLEXIFORM NEUROFIBROMA

Plexiform neurofibroma is a benign tumor of peripheral nerves arising from a proliferation of all neural elements, pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). It involves single or multiple nerve fascicles that arises from major nerve branches(1,2). Plexiform neurofibromas are among the most common and debilitating complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)(3). They account for substantial morbidity, including disfigurement, functional impairment, and may even be life threatening. (4)
