Successful Surgical Excision of Retropharyngeal Plexiform Neurofibroma in a Non-neurofibromatosis Adult Male

Plexiform neurofibromas are benign tumors that arise from neuronal cells and are commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. However, the occurrence of plexiform neurofibromas in the pharyngeal region is extremely rare. In this particular case, we report the successful diagnosi...

description Plexiform neurofibromas are benign tumors that arise from neuronal cells and are commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. However, the occurrence of plexiform neurofibromas in the pharyngeal region is extremely rare. In this particular case, we report the successful diagnosis of a retropharyngeal plexiform neurofibroma in an adult male patient without a history of neurofibromatosis. The diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed by a biopsy. Following the diagnosis, the tumor was surgically excised, resulting in a successful removal of the neurofibroma.
