Histopathology, 1977
At rare intervals in the literature, reports have appeared of a skin tumour containing structures resembling Pacinian corpuscles. Four such tumours collected over the course of 20 years are described and the literature reviewed.

Neurofibromas and schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours that occur as isolated sporadic lesions, but have their major clinical impact on the neurocutaneous diseases neurofibromatosis 1 and neurofibromatosis 2. The gene products neurofibromin and merlin (schwannomin), respectively, are thought to act as tumour suppressors.

AbstractThis paper is a retrospective study of 15 patients with parapharyngeal neurofibromas operated over a six year period. No patient presented with a neurological deficit. CT scans revealed a well encapsulated moderately enhancing mass in ten cases.

The British Journal of Radiology, 1952
This case is reported because of the rarity of the condition, and the unusual size of the tumour. The radiological findings were subsequently confirmed at operation. Mrs. B.G., aged 71, was admitted to the Bristol Royal Infirmary on 18.11.1950, one month after a small haematemesis.

Gastroenterology, 1950
Summary 1.Three cases of solitary neurofibroma of the stomach which came to operation are reported. 2.As a group they demonstrated all of the clinical features which may characterize the onset and subsequent course of such tumors. 3.The pathologic data are recorded and amplified with a discussion of other available information on the gross and ...

Neurofibromas cause unsightly and crippling deformities. These locally destructive tumors arise along the distribution of peripheral and cranial nerves. The 2 patients presented here had neurofibromas of the external ear. In one patient, the lesion was limited to the auricle.

A neurofibroma in the larynx is quite unusual and is more likely to appear as a solitary, isolated lesion rather than a concomitant finding in von Recklinghausen's disease. A case is presented of a patient with residual endolaryngeal neurofibroma despite eight attempts at removal.

We have described a unique example of intratracheal neurofibroma in a patient with neurofibromatosis. Although tracheal neoplasms are rare, they should be considered in the presence of obstructive respiratory symptoms. Careful scrutiny of plain roentgenograms with special views should be undertaken for optimal evaluation.

Plexiform neurofibromas are among the most common and debilitating complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). They account for substantial morbidity, including disfigurement, functional impairment, and may even be life threatening. Plexiform neurofibromas are also subject to transformation into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), a ...

Benign esophageal tumors occur infrequently, with leiomyomas accounting for approximately 70% of cases. Benign neural tumors of the esophagus account for 200 cases reported in the literature and rarely require operative resection. The case of a 58-year-old woman with a 4-month history of progressive dysphagia and odynophagia is presented.
