Surgical Measures Improving Functional Limitations of the Masticatory System, Aesthetic Deficits, and Skeletal Malformations in Neurofibromatosis Type 1‐associated Hemifacial Diffuse Plexiform Neurofibroma Complicated by Rapidly Growing Midfacial Per
Surgical measures enable functional and aesthetic improvements despite extensive facial destruction caused by the tumor. Rapid tumor growth is a finding that requires immediate diagnosis in patients with NF1. Even in tumor-free transplants at the time of tissue transfer, (nodular) neurofibromas can develop at the recipient site.
