Good evening revered Curofians. Identify the lesion and give a brief description. Best regards. ( Credit : Internet )
plexiform neurofibromatosis arise from multiple nerve bundles . they are difficult to treat and can turn malignant.
This is plexiform Neurofibromatosis. This is benign tumor that originates from nerve sheath cells or subcutaneous peripheral nerves and can involve multiple fascicles. Massive PNF results in functional disability and disfigurement. They occur in as much as in 30% of the patients with NF type 1. Such tumours are generally present at birth and often progress during early childhood. The condition can cause disfigurement. Most cases require surgery. Complete excision is not possible due to infiltrating nature of the tumour.
I am highly thankful to dear my Kaji who posts very interesting cases, I would request him kindly tag Endocrinology too while posting the cases.

A 38 y/o female complaints of painful lumps and growths to appear all over her body. It covers her entire face, with three giant growths on her right leg. She had this condition since birth, but it started getting a lot worse about 15 years ago. After delivery, the number of tumours increased rapidly, and two surgeries have been unable to stop their growth. What is your opinion in approaching this case?
