- Abstract
- Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF-1) is an inherited neurocutaneous disorder arising from the chromosome
17q with a prevalence of one in 4,000. Neurofibroma, Cafe-au-lait spots, freckles in axilla,
Lisch nodule and bony dysplasia are features of NF-1. It is diagnosed preoperatively by history
taking, physical examination, CT, MRI and intraoperatively by tissue biopsy. Scalp neurofibroma
accompanying pain, motor disturbance, rapid growth, and suspicious of malignancy are indications
for surgical removal. We present a case of NF-1 with two giant neurofibromas (15×7×4 cm, 3
×5×2 cm) on the left scalp in a patient suffering from a head injury after falling down. The neurofibromas
were successfully removed after diagnosed by MRI and histology.
