Solitary central neurofibroma of the maxilla: A Case Report / Neurofibroma central de maxilla: relato de caso

Neurofibroma is a benign tumor which rarely occurs in the oral cavity. Generally, oral neurofibroma is part of a neurofibromatosis type-1 like syndrome (Von Recklinghausen's disease) and rarely occurs as a solitary lesion of oral cavity. Up to now, few cases have been reported with the solitary neurofibromas of tongue and submandibular gland. The tumor can also be rarely located centrally in the bone. This research presents a central neurofibroma case in the maxillary bone which has no relationship with the neurofibromatosis. (AU)

O neurofibroma é um tumor benigno que raramente ocorre na cavidade oral. Geralmente, oral neurofibroma é parte de da neurofibromatose tipo 1 (Von Recklinghausen's doença) e raramente ocorre como uma lesão solitária da cavidade oral. Até agora, poucos casos foram relatado com os neurofibromas solitários de língua e glândula submandibular. O tumor também raramente pode estar localizado centralmente no osso. Esta pesquisa apresenta um neurofibroma central caso no osso maxilar que não tem relação com a neurofibromatose (AU)

Neurofibroma circunscrito solitario de la vulva / Solitary circumscribed neurofibroma of the vulva

Introdución: el neurofibroma es un tumor de comportamiento benigno que se origina de las células de la vaina nerviosa periférica, puede presentarse en forma solitaria o como lesiones múltiples como parte de la enfermedad de Von Recklingha³sen o neurofibromatosis. Los solitarios son de presentación rara y usualmente no se encuentran asociados a síntomas sistémicos. Objetivo: presentar el caso y la revisión bibliográfica en la literatura nacional y extranjera. Paciente: se presenta el caso de una paciente con un tumor solitario en la vulva tratado de forma quirúrgica en el servicio de Ginecología del Hospital Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y del Castillo de Bayamo, Granma, en octubre del 2011. Resultados: se procedió a retirar la lesión quirúrgicamente mediante cirugía escisional con enucleación del tumor y resección de la piel redundante. Conclusión: el diagnóstico histológico se correspondió con neurofibroma

Introduction: neurofibroma is a benign tumor that originates from cells of peripheral nerve sheath. It may occur as solitary or multiple lesions as part of Von Recklinghausen disease or neurofibromatosis. The solitary lesions are rare and usually they are not associated with systemic symptoms. Objective: case presentation and literature review in national and international literature. Patient: we report the case of a patient with a vulvar solitary tumor, treated surgically at the Department of Gynecology of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y del Castillo Hospital in Bayamo, Granma, in October 2011. Results: we proceeded to surgically remove the lesion by excisional surgery with enucleation of the tumor and resection of redundant skin. Conclusion: the histological diagnosis was consistent with neurofibroma

A Case of Solitary Neurofibroma Occuring on the Upper Eyelid / 대한피부과학회지

Neurofibroma may assume one of three growth patterns: localized, diffuse, or plexiform. The localized form is seen most commonly as a superficial, solitary tumor in normal individuals. Any area of the body may be involved in solitary neurofibroma, but the head and trunk appear to be affected usually. Involvement of the orbital cavity, nasal cavity, maxilla, and mandible has been reported, but the upper eyelid remains an unusual location for solitary neurofibroma. We report a case of solitary neurofibroma in a 55-year-old female patient, who presented with a 5-year history of 0.9 X 0.9cm sized, soft, dome-shaped nodule on the left upper eyelid with an unusual presentation.

Solitary Neurofibroma in the Orbit

Neurofibroma is the most important component of neurofibromatosis and may occur as solitary lesion. Solitary neurofibroma is common in the skin but solitary neurofibroma of the orbital region is unusual, whether or not it is associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. In 53-year-old woman who had exophthalmos, we experienced a solitary tumor between right medial rectus muscle and lamina papyracea. The histopathologic evaluation revealed the tumor to be a neurofibroma.
