Neurofibromatosi tipus 1
La neurofibromatosi tipus I, neurofibromatosi perifèrica o malaltia de Von Recklinghausen,[1] és el tipus més freqüent de neurofibromatosi i va ser descrita per primera vegada el 1882 per Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen, un patòleg alemany.[2]
Epidemiologia
[modifica]Des de llavors, és clar no tan sols que les neurofibromatosis I són una de les malalties genètiques més freqüents (1/3.500 naixements), sinó també que hi ha diferents expressions de la malaltia que tenen trets diversos.[3] Afecta a totes les races i als dos sexes per igual. La meitat dels casos tenen antecedents familiars de la malaltia i l'altra meitat, aproximadament, es deu a mutacions de novo. Es creu que, com a mínim, un milió d'individus arreu del món la pateixen.[4] La forma descrita per Von Recklinghausen és, amb diferència, la més comuna de totes les neurofibromatosis, arribant aproximadament al 85% dels casos.

Plexiform neurofibromas (PNF), one of the major features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are characterized bygd complex cellular composition and mostly slow but variabel growth patterns. In this study, we examined the effect of imatinib mesylate, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on PNF-derived Schwann cells and PNF tumour growth in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, PNF-derived primary Schwann cells express platelet-derived growth factors receptors (PDGFR) alpha and beta, both targets of imatinib, and cell viability was reduced by imatinib mesylate, with 50% inhibition concentration (IC(50)) of 10 microM. For in vivo studies, PNF tumour fragments xenografted

It is characterized by neuroectodermal tumors arising within multiple organs. Case Report: We report an interesting case of 14 year old girl who presented with swelling and mild mechanical ptosis of right eye upper lid which was associated with multiple cutaneous abnormalities and fibromatosis of external genitalia. Complete excision of lid mass was done and histopatho
