Recurrent multiple neurofibromatosis type 1 of the right lower limb.
Der Orthopäde 2018 March
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, which is characterized by the presence of multiple neurofibromas. We encountered a case in which a sporadic dispersed neurofibroma recurred locally on numerous occasions extending over 16 years. The patient developed multiple masses with a focus of neurofibroma on the right lower limb, which were excised. The patient was initially diagnosed with inflammatory changes via computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; however, subsequently, pathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed an intraneural neurofibroma. The patient underwent a comprehensive and complete local resection several times. After a continuous postoperative follow-up strategy, the patient recovered well. This report describes a case of primary manifestations of multiple and recurrent neurofibromas. We aim to emphasize the possibility of a unique, recurrent, non-healing neurofibroma and review the diagnostic techniques utilized to reach a definitive diagnosis. Early and complete surgical resection is an effective method to treat and prevent this type of neurofibroma.
