There are three major clinically and genetically distinct forms of neurofibromatosis, neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 (NF1 and NF2) and schwannomatosis. NF1, previously known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common type. Longitudinal care for individuals with NF1 aims at the early detection and symptomatic treatment of complications as they occur. The approach to treatment of the various tumors associated with NF1 depends upon the type of tumor, its effect on adjacent tissues, and related complications. No specific medical treatment for neurofibromas exists. Surgical treatment and pain management of plexiform neurofibromas can be challenging. Surgical resection often is limited to debulking of a specific area of a large lesion. Malignant neoplasms, particularly malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), are the primary cause of decreased survival. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to contact me directly.
