Preferred Label : neurofibroma;
MeSH definition : A moderately firm, benign, encapsulated tumor resulting from proliferation of SCHWANN
CELLS and FIBROBLASTS that includes portions of nerve fibers. The tumors usually develop
along peripheral or cranial nerves and are a central feature of NEUROFIBROMATOSIS
1, where they may occur intracranially or involve spinal roots. Pathologic features
include fusiform enlargement of the involved nerve. Microscopic examination reveals
a disorganized and loose cellular pattern with elongated nuclei intermixed with fibrous
strands. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1016);
MeSH synonym : neurofibromas;
MeSH annotation : solitary; multiple NEUROFIBROMATOSES but see MeSH definition; coord IM with precoord
