Neurofibroma
Neurofibromas are localized, benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. There is no sex predilection for neurofibromas and they commonly occur in the third or fourth decades of life. Neurofibromas can affect any part of the body and are most commonly seen in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Symptoms vary according to the site, but they usually present as a painless mass compressing on a vital structure. Simple surgical excision is the treatment of choice and is curative. Multiple neurofibromas are characterized most commonly by von Recklinghausen's disease.
