1. Neurofibroma is mostly seen in young people and grows slowly.
2, less common in the oral cavity.
3, the clinical manifestations of facial neurofibroma is mainly the surface of the skin in different sizes of brown spots, or gray-black dots or flaky lesions.
4, when looking at the diagnosis, there are multiple tumor nodules in the skin with hard texture.
5, multiple tumor nodules can be distributed along the subcutaneous nerves, in the form of rosettes, or in the form of clusters, such as from the sensory nerves, there may be obvious tenderness.
6, along the distribution of the nerve in the region, sometimes there is connective tissue in ectopic hyperplasia, skin laxity or folding sagging, covering the eyes, dysfunction, facial deformity.
7. The tumor is soft in texture and generally cannot be compressed although the blood supply within the tumor is rich.
8. When the neighboring bone is invaded, it can cause deformity.
9. Multiple neurofibromas of the head and face may also be accompanied by congenital occipital bone defects.
10, Neurofibromatosis has genetic tendency, which is autosomal dominant. Therefore, the family members of the patients, especially the immediate family members, had better carry out the whole body examination in order to determine whether there is a family history.
Neurofibroma is generally caused by genetic factors, physical factors, chemical factors, etc., which need to be treated according to different situations.1, genetic factors
Because neurofibroma has a certain heredity, if the immediate family members suffer from the disease, it will increase the probability of their offspring to suffer from the disease. For neurofibroma caused by genetic factors, it can be treated by surgical excision.
2, physical factors
If you are in the environment with strong radiation for a long time, it will damage the nerve fiber in your body and cause neurofibroma. For neurofibroma caused by physical factors, it can be improved by radiation therapy.
3, chemical factors
If the prolonged exposure to formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic substances, will cause damage to the human body's nerve fibers, which will lead to neurofibroma. For neurofibroma caused by chemical factors, you need to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to use the appropriate drugs for treatment, such as formaldehyde solution, ethyl acetate solution, etc..
In addition to this, there may be trauma, infection and other causes
