DOI: 10.1080/02699052.2022.2077986
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background As a subtype of neurofibromatosis, the plexiform neurofibroma is a benign, autosomally inherited disorder and predisposed to tumour formation. However, life-threatening haemorrhage into facial plexiform neurofibroma is extremely rare. Case information In the… read more here.
