Abstract
|
|
|
|
Plexiform neurofibroma(PNF) occurring at the occipital scalp is rare. It occasionally accompanies occipital bony defect and dysplasia, especially near the lambdoid suture. But the etiology is not known. We report a case of 17-year-old male presented with large mass on the left parietooccipital scalp. As reported cases, our case was also associated with occipital bony defect. In experience of our case and review of literatures, we think that PNF should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the scalp masses which accompany bony defect and dysplasia.
