A Rare Incidence of Metachronous Neurovascular Lesions in a Child
Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from nerve sheath fibroblasts. The diagnosis of solitary lesions becomes difficult in patients who do not have any family history of neurofibroma. An intra-oral solitary neurofibroma comprises 6.5% of reported cases of neurofibroma. Few cases of intra...

description | Neurofibroma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from nerve sheath fibroblasts. The diagnosis of solitary lesions becomes difficult in patients who do not have any family history of neurofibroma. An intra-oral solitary neurofibroma comprises 6.5% of reported cases of neurofibroma. Few cases of intraosseous solitary neurofibroma have been published as per literature. Treatment-surgical resection of tumor has an excellent prognosis with extreme rare malignant transformation which is more commonly seen in neurofibromatosis. A periodic follow-up is necessary in solitary tumors to rule out syndromic cases. Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle origin, which is usually diagnosed in the gastrointestinal tract, uterus, and skin. The most effective treatment for solid, vascular, and epithelioid angioleiomyomas is surgical resection along with tumor capsule. Here we report an uncommon occurrence of multiple benign tumors in a pediatric patient. |
