A case report of a 4-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1

open access: yesCancer Treatment and Research Communications, 2022
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 ...

Combining SOS1 and MEK Inhibitors in a Murine Model of Plexiform Neurofibroma Results in Tumor Shrinkage

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
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.

Combined CDK4/6 and ERK1/2 inhibition enhances anti-tumor activity in NF1-associated plexiform neurofibroma.

open access: yesClinical Cancer Research, 2023
PURPOSE Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) are peripheral nerve sheath tumors that cause significant morbidity in persons with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), yet treatment options remain limited.

Superimposed Mosaicism in the Form of Extremely Extended Segmental Plexiform Neurofibroma Caused by a Novel Pathogenic Variant in the NF1 Gene

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Plexiform neurofibromas occurring in approximately 20–50% of all neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) cases are histologically benign tumors, but they can be fatal due to compression of vital structures or transformation to malignant sarcomas or malignant ...

Multiple Nf1 Schwann cell populations reprogram the plexiform neurofibroma tumor microenvironment

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2022
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).

Clinical and humanistic burden among pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 and plexiform neurofibroma in the USA

open access: yesChild's Nervous System, 2022
To assess clinical and humanistic burden among pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibroma (PN) in the USA. NF1-PN patients aged 8–18 years (treatment-naïve or ≤ 1 month of selumetinib treatment) and their caregivers

Plexiform neurofibroma of the scalp with bony defect: A case report and review of literature

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2022
Plexiform neurofibroma (PNF) of the scalp is a very rare lesion. It is commonly associated with neurofibromatosis (NF 1). Occipital location of plexiform neurofibroma is even more infrequent.
