Overview
Neurofibroma may be classified into 5 subtypes: cutaneous/dermal/localized, subcutaneous, diffuse, intramuscular, and plexiform neurofibroma. Plexiform neurofibromas may be further sub-classified into diffuse and nodular plexiform.
Classification
Neurofibroma may be classified into following 5 subtypes:[1][2]
