RESUMO
Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by tumors of the nervous system and skin. Plexiform neurofibromas are common complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 and can cause large facial deformities. Vascular anomalies are in turn a rare manifestation of neurofibromatosis. We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient with right hemifacial neurofibromatosis associated with venous vascular malformation, previously treated surgically and then with sclerosing agents, determining severe residual facial deformity. Her surgical approach using a modified facelift technique associated with partial tumor debulking and lipofilling seems to be a valid technical alternative for these highly complex cases that require a customized approach after exhaustive preoperative evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: To report radiographic characteristics of a case of a patient with neurofibromatosis involving the maxillomandibular complex and to point out other dental radiographic characteristics that are found in the scientific literature to help the dentist when faced with a case of neurofibromatosis. SHORT COMMUNICATION: Male, 31 years old, referred for radiographic examination. During anamnesis and physical examination, lesions were noted, which were papules and café-au-lait patches larger than 1 cm on the trunk and upper limbs, further to Lisch nodules (brown spots on the iris) and axillary and inguinal ephelides. When investigating the history of the disease, the patient reported the presence of such skin atlterations since birth and mentioned that his mother had been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. During radiographic evaluation, a significant increase in the caliber of the mandibular canal and mental foramen was observed, bilaterally. CONCLUSION: Completing the combination of skin characteristics present in the patient, anamnesis data and current history of the disease with interpretation of radiographic alterations, it was possible to arrive at the diagnostic hypothesis of Neurofibromatosis type 1 and correct clinical management. Therefore, it is extremely important for the dentist to be aware of the clinical, physical and radiographic characteristics that this condition presents for the correct management and success of dental treatment.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La neurofibromatosis tipo 1(NF1) descrita por primera vez por von Recklinghausen en 1884, es una enfermedad de transmisión genética autosómica dominante, causada por un espectro de mutaciones en el gen NF-1, de evolución impredecible, que afecta múltiples órganos y sistemas, como la piel y el sistema nervioso, afectando también el desarrollo infantil y al estado neurocognitivo. Representa para el médico la toma de decisiones de manejo a menudo complejas, que requieren un enfoque multidisciplinario. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente femenino de 9 años de edad, con antecedente de neurofibromatosis tipo 1. Presenta masa en región cervical anterior, que ocupa además el hemitórax izquierdo, comprimiendo el mediastino anterior, la tráquea del lado izquierdo, el corazón, el pulmón izquierdo; la masa produce sintomatología: disnea, disfagia y dolor, por lo que se programa intervención quirúrgica para exéresis del tumor. Se realizó cervico-esternotomía- toracotomía izquierda, se extirpó masa de 12 x 7 cm, ubicada a nivel de cayado aórtico, íntimamente adherida a la columna vertebral cervico-torácica. EVOLUCIÓN: Durante el acto quirúrgico la paciente tuvo un sangrado cuantioso, proveniente de arteria colateral de carótida común izquierda, por lo que se decidió empaquetar para resolución posterior, 24 horas después se desempaquetó, logrando control del sangrado tras el procedimiento. Los resultados de anatomía patología establecieron que la masa fue un neurofibroma. El seguimiento posterior determinó mejoría de la sintomatología, sin complicaciones quirúrgicas tardías. CONCLUSIÓN: La Neurofibromatosis es una patología congénita, poco frecuente y de complejo manejo. Aunque no existe tratamiento definitivo para la neurofibromatosis tipo 1, se puede realizar un manejo integral para mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente. Los tumores pueden extirparse mediante cirugía, aunque a menudo vuelven a crecer.(au)
BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1, first described by von Recklinghausen in 1884, is an autosomal dominant genetically transmitted disease, caused by a spectrum of mutations in the NF-1 gen, with unpredictable evolution, that affects multiple organs and systems, such as the skin and the nervous system, also affecting child development and neurocognitive functions. It often requires complex management decisions from the physician that involve a multidisciplinary approach. CASE REPORTS: 9 year old female patient with a history of type 1 neurofibromatosis. She presented with a mass located in the anterior cervical region, occupying also the left hemithorax, compressing the anterior mediastinum, the trachea from its left side, the heart, and the left lung; the mass produced symptoms: dyspnea, dysphagia and pain, so surgical excision of the mass was scheduled. A left cervical-sternotomy-thoracotomy was performed, a 12 x 7cm mass, located at aortic arch level, closely adhered to the cervical-thoracic spine, was excised. EVOLUTION: During the surgical procedure, the patient had profuse bleeding, coming form the left common carotid colateral artery, so abdominal packing was performed, for later resolution. 24 hours later, bleeding control was achieved after the surgical re-intervention. The pathology lab results established that the mass was in fact a neurofibroma. Subsequent follow-up determined symptoms improvement, without late surgical complications. CONCLUSIONS: Neurofibromatosis is a congenital infrequent, disease, with a complex treatment. Although there is no definitive treatment for type 1 neurofibromatosis, comprehensive management can be achieved to improve the patient's quality of life. Tumors can be surgically removed, although they often grow back.(au)

Neurofibroma is a benign tumor which rarely occurs in the oral cavity. Generally, oral neurofibroma is part of a neurofibromatosis type-1 like syndrome (Von Recklinghausen's disease) and rarely occurs as a solitary lesion of oral cavity. Up to now, few cases have been reported with the solitary neurofibromas of tongue and submandibular gland. The tumor can also be rarely located centrally in the bone. This research presents a central neurofibroma case in the maxillary bone which has no relationship with the neurofibromatosis. (AU)
O neurofibroma é um tumor benigno que raramente ocorre na cavidade oral. Geralmente, oral neurofibroma é parte de da neurofibromatose tipo 1 (Von Recklinghausen's doença) e raramente ocorre como uma lesão solitária da cavidade oral. Até agora, poucos casos foram relatado com os neurofibromas solitários de língua e glândula submandibular. O tumor também raramente pode estar localizado centralmente no osso. Esta pesquisa apresenta um neurofibroma central caso no osso maxilar que não tem relação com a neurofibromatose (AU)

La neurofibromatosis (NF) comprende un grupo de enfermedades genéticas de herencia autosómica dominante, que se clasifican de la siguiente manera: neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis tipo 2 (NF2) y schwannomatosis (también conocida como neurofibromatosis tipo 3). Esta última es una enfermedad muy infrecuente, con una prevalencia aproximada de 1/126 000 personas, por lo que solo profundizaremos las dos primeras. La NF1, también conocida como la enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen, es la más frecuente de las tres y afecta principalmente la piel y el sistema nervioso periférico. Se caracteriza por la presencia de máculas "café con leche", pecas axilares o inguinales, nódulos de Lisch (hamartomas en el iris) y neurofibromas (tumores de la vaina de nervios periféricos). Otras manifestaciones menos frecuentes, aunque de mayor gravedad, incluyen gliomas del nervio óptico, meningiomas, neurofibromas malignos, escoliosis y displasia de la tibia. Su diagnóstico se suele realizar al nacimiento o durante los primeros años de vida, y se estima que un 50% de quienes la padecen presenta dificultades cognitivas. No hay datos concluyentes sobre la mortalidad en los pacientes con NF1, aunque se sabe que la expectativa de vida es menor que en la población general. La NF2 tiene una prevalencia considerablemente menor que la NF1 y su inicio es más tardío, afectando principalmente a adultos jóvenes. La presentación clínica típica se caracteriza por acúfenos, hipoacusia y ataxia en contexto de la presencia de schwannomas vestibulares bilaterales. Otros hallazgos menos frecuentes incluyen schwannomas de nervios periféricos, meningiomas, ependimomas o astrocitomas. La esperanza de vida es de unos 36 años, con una supervivencia media desde el momento del diagnóstico de 15 años. (AU)
Neurofibromatosis (NF) includes a group of genetic diseases with an autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern, and they are classified as follows: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and Schwannomatosis (also known as neurofibromatosis type 3). This last one is a very rare disease, with an approximate prevalence of 1/126000, so we will only deepen in the first two. NF1, also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the most frequent, and mainly affects the skin and peripheral nervous system. Its typical manifestations are the presence of café-au-lait macules, axillary or inguinal freckles, Lisch nodules (hamartomas in the iris) and neurofibromas (peripheral nerve sheath tumors). Less frequent manifestations, although more serious, include optic nerve gliomas, meningiomas, malignant neurofibromas, scoliosis and tibial dysplasia. The diagnosis is usually made at birth or during the first years of life, and approximately 50% of patients present cognitive difficulties. There is no conclusive data on mortality in patients with NF1, although it is known that life expectancy is lower than in general population. NF2 has a considerably lower prevalence than NF1, and its onset is later in life, mainly affecting young adults. Its typical clinical presentation is characterized by tinnitus, hearing loss and ataxia in the context in the presence of bilateral vestibular schwannomas. Less frequent findings include peripheral nerve schwannomas, meningiomas, ependymomas or astrocytomas. Life expectancy is about 36 years old, with a median survival from the moment of diagnosis of 15 years. (AU)

RESUMEN La neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF1) o enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen, es un desorden genético hereditario, que se transmite bajo un patrón autosómico dominante con penetrancia casi del 100%, progresiva, multisistémica con afectación predominante de piel y sistema nervioso. Siendo el más frecuente de los síndromes neurocutáneos. Tiene una incidencia de 1 por cada 3.000 nacimientos a nivel mundial. Las manifestaciones clínico dermatológicas más comunes son: maculas café con leche, nódulos de Lisch y efélides en áreas no foto expuestas. Se reporta el caso de paciente masculino de 8 años de edad, con antecedentes contributorios y rasgos fenotípicos, diagnósticos para la enfermedad.
SUMMARY Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen disease, is an hereditary genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance and almost 100% of penetrance. Characteristically progressive and multisystemic, with predominant skin and nervous system involvement. It is the most frequent neurocutaneous syndrome with an incidence of 1 per 3,000 births worldwide. Usual skin findings include cafe-au-lait macules, neurofibromas and freckles in non-photo exposed areas. We report the case of an 8-year-old male with a contributory family history and diagnostic phenotypic features for this disease.
RESUMO
La enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen o neurofibromatosis tipo I es una enfermedad caracterizada por tendencia a la formación de tumores de tejidos del ectodermo y mesodermo. Existen diversas implicaciones anestésicas que incluyen la sensibilidad alterada a la succinilcolina y a relajantes neuromusculares no-despolarizantes, además de alteraciones en la anatomía normal de la vía aérea; se presenta el caso de una paciente de 58 años programada para la resección de tumoración cutánea temporo-parietal derecha, se utilizó succinilcolina como relajante muscular en donde a pesar de la vida media corta de éste, no se requirió de dosis subsecuentes durante el tiempo de duración de la cirugía; por lo que se corroboro una sensibilidad alterada hacia los relajantes musculares de tipo despolarizantes en este tipo de pacientes.
Von Recklinghausen disease or neurofibromatosis type I is a disease characterized by the tendency to form tissue tumors of the ectoderm and mesoderm. There are several anesthetic implications that include altered sensitivity to succinylcholine and non-depolarizing neuromuscular relaxants, in addition to alterations in the normal anatomy of the airway; we present the case of a 58 year old patient scheduled for the resection of the right temporo-parietal cutaneous tumor. Succinylcholine was used as a muscle relaxant. Despite its short half-life, no subsequent doses were required during the treatment period duration of surgery; Therefore, an altered sensitivity towards muscle relaxants of depolarizing type was corroborated in this type of patients.
RESUMO
Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that affects approximately 1/3500 individuals. Various bone manifestations and peripheral nerves neoplastic lesions associated with NF1 are seen in the jaws. Several oral manifestations may occur in this disorder; therefore the dentist's knowledge and multidisciplinary management of these patients are extremely important. Case Presentation: In the present article, we present the use of a high-power surgical laser to excise a neurofibroma in a patient with several intraoral manifestations associated with NF1. Conclusion: The use of diode laser (808 nm) for excision biopsy of tongue nodules showed no thermal damage to the tissue, allowing an adequate histopathological analysis of the neurofibroma.
RESUMO
Se presenta paciente con historia familiar de neurofibromatosis (NF) tipo I, con síntomas y signos sugestivos de esta enfermedad que refiere dolor torácico paravertebral izquierdo al cual mediante estudios de imagen se le diagnostica lesión tumoral en mediastino posterior. Es de notar la presencia de manchas cutáneas características de la neurofibromatosis, localizadas solo en un dermatoma del cuerpo sin neurofibromas en ninguna otra localización. Se intervino quirúrgicamente el enfermo, se resecó una gran masa mediastinal que se confirmó histológicamente ser un neurofibroma. La evolución posquirúrgica fue satisfactoria. Se discuten las singularidades de este enfermo sobre la base de criterios diagnósticos de neurofibromatosis tipo I, pero sin neurofibromas periféricos hasta ese momento. La posibilidad de una neurofibromatosis segmentaria tampoco se descarta. Se hace énfasis en la necesidad de resección de cualquier lesión tumoral en el contexto de este síndrome genético por la frecuencia de lesiones malignas asociadas a la neurofibromatosis y a la progresión hacia la malignidad de lesiones primariamente benignas(AU)
A patient with a family history of Neurofibromatosis type I was presented. The patient referred symptoms and signs suggestive of that disease and complaint of left paravertebral chest pain. Imaging investigations were done and a posterior mediastinal tumor was diagnosed. It is important to highlight the presence of characteristics spot of neurofibromatosis localized only in one dermatome without neurofibromas in any other part of the body. The patient underwent a surgical intervention and a left thoracotomy was done, a large posterior mediastinal tumor was found and totally resected. The histology confirmed a neurofibroma. The postoperative evolution was satisfactory. The singularities of this patient were discussed, especially diagnosis criteria for neurofibromatosis type I, and the lack of peripheral neurofibromas until that moment. The possibility for a segmental neurofibromatosis also was considered. We pointed out about the necessity to remove any neoplastic lesion in the background of this genetic syndrome due to the high frequency of malignancies associated with neurofibromatosis, and also related with the malignant degeneration these tumors can develop(AU)

Objetivo: revisar las manifestaciones de la neurofibromatosis de presentación en la región genital, el diagnóstico diferencial y el manejo de las lesiones.Materiales y métodos: paciente de 63 años remitida por masa en región genital a la Unidad de Colposcopia y Patología del Tracto Genital Inferior del Hospital de Suba, institución pública de segundo nivel de complejidad ubicada en Bogotá, Colombia, donde se atiende a población del régimen subsidiado. Al examen físico se encontraron manchas café-au-lait y lesiones compatibles con neurofibromas que orientaron el diagnóstico de neurofibromatosis tipo 1. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura en Medline-Pubmed usando los términos MeSH neurofibromatosis, enfermedad de von Recklinghausen, vagina, tracto genital, tumor pélvico; se presenta el caso clínico y la revisión del tema.Resultados: se encontraron 7991 publicaciones relacionadas con neurofibromatosis, y de estas solo 30 relacionadas con lesiones pélvicas y de tracto genitourinario; solo 6 reportes de casos y una serie de casos presentaban lesiones localizadas en tracto genital inferior. Para la descripción de las generalidades y los criterios diagnósticos se seleccionaron 12 artículos de revisión del tema. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye schwannoma, neuroma, mixoma, leiomioma y pólipo fibroepitelial.Conclusiones: el hallazgo de neurofibromas en el tracto genitourinario es un evento de baja ocurrencia y es un tema de interés para ginecólogos, pediatras y urólogos pues constituye un reto diagnóstico.
Objective: Reviewing manifestations of neurofibromatosis presenting in the genital region, their differential diagnosis and managing lesions. Materials and methods: The case of a 63-year-old patient admitted to the Suba hospitals colposcopy and pathology of the lower genital tract service due to having a mass in the genital region is presented; the hospital is a second level complexity public institution in Bogotá, Colombia, dealing with a subsidised regime population. Physical examination revealed café-au-lait spots and lesions compatible with neurofibroma, thereby orientating diagnosis towards neurofibromatosis type 1. A systematic search was made of the literature in Medline-Pubmed, using the MeSH terms: neurofibromatosis, von Recklinghausens disease, vagina, genital tract, pelvic tumour. A clinical case and review of the topic are presented. Results: 7,991 publications related to neurofibromatosis were found. Just 30 of them were related to pelvic lesions and the genitourinary tract and only 6 case reports and one case series dealt with lesions located in the lower genital tract; 12 articles reviewing the topic were selected for a description of the diagnostic generalities and criteria. Differential diagnosis included schwannoma, neuroma, myxoma, leiomyoma and fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusions: A neurofibroma being identified in the genitourinary tract is an infrequently occurring event, constituting a topic of interest for gynaecologists, paediatricians and urologists as it represents a diagnostic challenge.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A doença de Von Recklinghausen, também conhecida como neurofibromatose, é uma doença multissistêmica com características bem estabelecidas.Algumas manifestações são progressivas e resultam em considerável morbidade e mortalidade. Apresenta grande impacto na qualidade de vida, tanto do ponto de vista clínico como no aspecto estético, constituindo uma verdadeira agressão à autoimagem e à autoestima. Assim torna-se imperioso, relatar manifestações clínicas, critérios de diagnóstico, manuseio e acompanhamento dos pacientes com essa doença, devido à necessidade de diagnóstico precoce das complicações mais comuns em cada faixa etária, e conduta adequada no sentido de minimizá-las ou eliminá-las.RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 50 anos,procurou atendimento médico na unidade básica de saúde com queixa principal de caroços espalhados por todo o corpo,que aumentavam de tamanho com o tempo, acompanhado de manchas no tórax e nos membros, associadas à sardas em axila esquerda. Apresentava dor na linha mediana torácica e cefaleia do tipo enxaquequosa, quase que diariamente. Paciente sabidamente hipertensa, com história de catarata e miopia.CONCLUSÃO : Atualmente não há cura, sendo seu tratamento a ressecção cirúrgica das lesões que comprometem a funçãoe/ou a estética do paciente. A psicoterapia e o acompanhamento social são válidos para restaurar e reconstruir o equilíbrio emocional dos pacientes. O encaminhamento do paciente às demais especialidades médicas é de extrema valia para identificar possíveis complicações e realizar tanto o aconselhamento genético quanto o monitoramento da progressão da doença.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Von Recklinghausen's disease, also known as neurofibromatosis, is a multisystem disease with features well established. Some manifestations are progressive and result in considerable morbidity and mortality. This has great impact on quality of life, both in terms of clinical and aesthetic aspects, constituting a veritable assault on the self-image and self esteem. Thus it becomes imperative, to report clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, management and monitoring of patients with this disease, due to the need for early diagnosis of common complications in each age group, and appropriate action to minimize or eliminate them.CASE REPORT: Female patient, 50 years-old, sought medical care at primary care unit with a chief complaint of pits scattered throughout the body, which increased in size over time, accompanied by spots on the chest and limbs, associated freckles in the armpit. She had chest pain in the midline and migraine type headache almost daily. Known hypertensive patient with a history of cataract and myopia.CONCLUSION: Currently there is no cure, its treatment is surgical resection of lesions that compromise the function and / or the aesthetics of the patient. Psychotherapy and social support are valid to restore and rebuild the emotional balance of the patients. The referral of patients to other medical specialties is extremely important to identify potential complications and perform both genetic counseling and monitoring of disease progression.
