Massive Plexiform Neurofibroma of the Neck and Larynx
Introduction Laryngeal neurofibromas are extremely rare, accounting for only 0.03 to 0.1% of benign tumors of the larynx. Objectives To report the first case of massive neck plexiform neurofibroma with intralaryngeal (supraglottic) extension

Revisiting the NPcis mouse model: A new tool to model plexiform neurofibroma. [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1) is a rare genetic disorder. NF1 patients frequently develop a benign tumor in peripheral nerve plexuses called plexiform neurofibroma.

Plexiform neurofibromas represent an uncommon variant (30%) of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) in which neurofibromas arise from multiple nerves as bulging and deforming masses involving also connective tissue and skin folds.We report a rare case of a 30-year-old man who presented with a progressive facial deformity that began in early childhood.

A case report of a 4-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a rare genetic disorder, which is a benign nerve tumor resulting from aberrant growth of the cells of nerve sheath. NF1 patients were associated with multisystem involvement, characterized by neurofibroma, of which 50% were ...

Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 develop rat sarcoma virus (RAS)–mitogen-activated protein kinase–mitogen-activated and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (RAS-MAPK-MEK)–driven nerve tumors called neurofibromas.

Multiple Nf1 Schwann cell populations reprogram the plexiform neurofibroma tumor microenvironment
To define alterations early in tumor formation, we studied nerve tumors in neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), a tumor predisposition syndrome. Affected individuals develop neurofibromas, benign tumors driven by NF1 loss in Schwann cells (SCs).
