    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis (NF1) can manifest as plexiform neurofibromas.
    • Facial involvement presents unique challenges due to cosmetic and functional considerations.

    Observation:

    • Presents two cases of extensive facial plexiform neurofibromas.
    • Patients underwent wide local resection after prior excisions failed.

    Findings:

    • Wide local resection is a viable approach for extensive facial neurofibromas.
    • Addresses the deforming and destructive effects of these tumors.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for aggressive surgical management in select NF1 cases.
    • Informs treatment strategies for complex craniofacial neurofibromas.
