Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disease in which multiple soft tumors (neurofibromas) develop under the skin and throughout the nervous system.

plexiform neurofibromas have also been described.

Successful surgical removal of neurofibromas has a survival rate of 50 to 90 percent.

Soft tumors (neurofibromas) are the hallmark of NF-1.

Children with a family history of neurofibromatosis are at highest risk for having either form of the condition.

The diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma is made on a combination of clinical, radiological and pathological criteria.

In similar way, synovial tumors such as lipoma, pedunculated fibromas intra-articular xanthomas and areas of pigmented villo-nodular synovitis may arthroscopically excised.

Neurofibromas are small and rubbery, and the skin overlying them may be somewhat purple in color.

There is no standard treatment for either type of neurofibromatosis.

ossifying fibroma is made on a combination of clinical, radiological and pathological criteria.

Both forms of neurofibromatosis are caused by a defective gene.
