  • Title: "Congenital" plexiform neurofibroma of the occipital scalp. Case report.
    Author: Ohaegbulam SC.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1977 Feb; 46(2):245-7. PubMed ID: 833642.
    Abstract:
    An occipital scalp tumor first noted in a Nigerian girl during the first month of her life gradually increased in size and 13 years later measured 10 X 16 X 17 cm. A skull film revealed a 2 X 4-cm skull defect underneath the tumor over the lambdoid suture. Complete excision of the tumor was achieve although it was adherent to the dura of the transverse sinus. It was histologically confirmed to be plexiform neurofibroma. There were no other signs of van Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.
