dc.description.abstractNeurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve tumors composed of proliferating Schwann cells and fibroblasts. It has been estimated that approximately 25% of all neurofibromatosis (NF) are found in the head and neck. Patients with NF type 1 of the head and neck suffer from one of the most dramatic cosmetic disabilities, which may lead to psychological troubles and social segregation. There is no known complete cure for NF. Solitary neurofibroma is a rare tumor of the head and neck region. It is more common in viscera, where it is associated with features of NF1. It occurs most often between the third and fourth decade. These lesions are extremely rare in childrenen_US
