Overview
Surgery can be helpful for correction of some neurofibromatosis type 1 bone malformations and for removal of painful or disfiguring tumors.
Surgery
- Surgery can be helpful for correction of some neurofibromatosis type 1 bone malformations and for removal of painful or disfiguring tumors.
- After removal, there is a chance that the tumors may grow back and in greater numbers.
- Surgery options for tumor removal include total and partial resections.
- In the rare instances when tumors become malignant (3- 5% of all cases), treatment may include radiation, or chemotherapy in addition to surgery. [1]
- In cases where tumors are not progressing rapidly, conservative approach of watchful waiting is preferred.
