  • Title: Surgical management of plantar von Recklinghausen neurofibroma.
    Author: Gazivoda PL, Hart TJ, Wolf JA.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1988; 27(1):52-6. PubMed ID: 3126222.
    Abstract:
    Clinical manifestations of von Recklinghausen's disease on the plantar aspect are very rare. Most of the neurofibromas involving the skin are asymptomatic, but when they occupy an unusual position or attain a large size, they lead to significant disability. A case report and the surgical treatment of a 39-year-old female with the pathognomonic clinical characteristics, along with a symptomatic plantar neurofibroma, are presented. The pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, complications, and treatment of this progressive disease are described in this report.
