Excerpt

To the Editor. Plexiform neurofibromas represent an uncommon variant (30%) of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) in which neurofibromas arise from multiple nerves as bulging and deforming masses, also involving connective tissue and skin folds. Plexiform neurofibromas have rarely been reported in the neonatal age group. …
