Surgical Treatment and Complications of Deep-Seated Nodular Plexiform Neurofibromas Associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Background: Nodular plexiform neurofibromas in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 often cause significant symptoms and are treated with surgical excision despite the potential risk of complications. This study aimed to clarify the surgical outcomes of deep-seated nodular plexiform neurofibrom...

description | Background: Nodular plexiform neurofibromas in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 often cause significant symptoms and are treated with surgical excision despite the potential risk of complications. This study aimed to clarify the surgical outcomes of deep-seated nodular plexiform neurofibromas and identify the factors associated with postoperative complications. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 who underwent surgical excision for deep-seated nodular plexiform neurofibromas in our hospital from 2015 to 2021. Enucleation while preserving the nerve fascicles was attempted first, and en bloc resection, ligating the nerve origin in cases in which the parent nerve was entrapped by the tumor, making the tumor difficult to dissect, was performed. Results: In 15 patients, 24 nodular plexiform neurofibromas received surgical excision. Sixteen tumors were enucleated, and eight were en bloc resected. The symptoms of all 10 patients with preoperative symptoms resolved after surgery. Four patients developed new neurological deficits immediately after surgery, two of whom had retained neurological symptoms at the last visit, but these symptoms were mild. Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that surgical treatment of nodular plexiform neurofibromas, even deep-seated neurofibromas, is safe with a low risk of severe complications and improvement in preoperative symptoms. |
