Abstract :

In this poster I will present our recent experience with giant facial neurofibromas (GFNs). In case-1, a 29 year old man presented with GFN on the left face with severe facial deformity. We performed two staged excision and left facial reconstruction including the upper eyelid. In case-2, a 38 year old male exhibited an enormous, 30Ã?25cm, left GFN. The patient was seeking surgical treatment for many years but unsuccessfully. We discuss in depth the surgical preparation for this case. Drawing upon a recent comprehensive literature review, we will include our new GFN Classification System and preoperative management algorithm.
