The main types of neurofibroma:
1. Multiple neurofibromas: The damage of multiple neurofibromas is multiple, reaching hundreds and covering the whole body. Skin lesions vary in size, from bean nipples to eggs, and grow slowly. Most of the large ones protrude from the body surface, but also grow in sheets and blocks, which can also lead to hypertrophy, sagging and folding of the skin and subcutaneous layer, which is rubber-like. Tumors are often soft and painless, and different degrees of pigmentation can occur. The disease usually begins in childhood, or it may be caused by congenital factors. Some patients will be accompanied by mental retardation and some organ abnormalities. If the tumor is often oppressed or rubbed, it may become malignant, so if it is a large tumor, it should be surgically removed in time.
2. Local neurofibroma: The local neurofibroma is relatively simple, and several tumors grow along the nerve trunk. Axillary, elbow and cheek are common parts. At the beginning, the tumor is induration, which can gradually increase. The surface of the nodule is smooth and non-stick to the skin, and the texture is hard. When the tumor squeezes into the nerve, it can also cause spontaneous pain, numbness, tenderness, allergy or dullness. The range of these changes is basically consistent with the innervation area of nerve trunk.
Diagnostic criteria of neurofibroma:
The diagnostic criteria of neurofibroma are mainly based on its typical manifestations and histopathological examination. The early manifestation of this disease is coffee spots on the skin, which often occurs in childhood. If the number of lesions exceeds 5, it suggests that you may have this disease. In the middle stage, the symptom of neurofibroma of superficial nerve plexus is that it is damaged into a pushable pearl nodule, and the patient consciously has obvious pain or tenderness. In the late stage, it can cause visceral injury, the severity of which has nothing to do with skin injury, and it is easy to lead to mental retardation, epilepsy, bone injury or gastrointestinal, urinary and endocrine system diseases. The pathological changes of neurofibroma are epidermal dopa positive reaction, increased melanocytes, and spherical giant pigment particles in keratinocytes and melanocytes. Hernia-like nodules are gray in section, tough in texture, with obvious boundaries, nerve sheath cells and nerves, but without capsule.
Etiology of neurofibroma:
At present, the etiology of neurofibroma is not very clear. It is generally believed that neurofibroma originated from neuroectodermal tumor and is a poorly differentiated neurilemmoma. The disease can occur alone or as part of the systemic symptoms of Lakelinshosen's disease. If it is the latter, it is often accompanied by brown skin and milk pigmentation, which belongs to congenital malformation and is mostly familial. The patient is younger and has a longer course of disease. Without capsules, even if there are, it is not complete. Moreover, the proliferation of various components of nerve tissue can be seen in the tumor, mainly the proliferation of nerve sheath cells. In addition to a large number of fibrous tissue hyperplasia, blood vessels of different sizes and thick funicular nerves can be seen in the tumor tissue.
After the above summary, we can see that neurofibroma must be treated in time, otherwise it will lead to the above complications. How to treat neurofibroma?
In the treatment of this disease, patients can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. If the traditional Chinese medicine Fibrous Tumour Rehabilitation Powder is mild in nature, it will not have side effects on the patient's body, but will comprehensively regulate the patient's endocrine, so that it can enhance the patient's blood circulation, nourish yin and regulate the liver, soften the hard mass, and eliminate mass stasis. The treatment of this disease can treat both the symptoms and the root causes.
