Nervous lesions in a case of local gigantism
Acta Neuropathologica
|May 16, 1977
Abstract:
A case of local gigantism of the thumb was studied by light and electron microscopy. In the lesion, proliferation of fibroadipose tissue and typical alterations of the nerves were found. The alterations in the nerve were isolated hypertrophy of the perineural cells. The relation of the changes to other peripheral nerve tumours especially in neurofibromatosis, is discussed.
