Overview
Neurofibromas can form anywhere in body with diffuse neurofibromas commonly involving scalp. Symptoms of neurofibroma include soft masses/bumps (internal or superficial) , transient itching, pain, Numbness and tingling in the affected area, severe bleeding, physical disfiguration, Cognitive disability, stinging, Neurological deficits, changes in movement (clumsiness in the hands, trouble walking), urinary urgency, bowel or bladder incontinence and Scoliosis.
History and symptoms
- Neurofibromas can form anywhere in body
- Diffuse neurofibromas commonly involve scalp
- Symptoms of neurofibroma include:
- Soft masses/bumps on or under skin (internal or superficial)
- Transient itching (mast cells release histamine)
- Transient pain
- Numbness and tingling in the affected area
- Severe bleeding (sign of tumor growth)
- Physical disfiguration
- Cognitive disability
- Stinging
- Neurological deficits
- Changes in movement (clumsiness in hands, trouble walking)
- Changes in bowel or bladder function (a sense of urgency when urinating, bowel or bladder incontinence)
- Scoliosis (an abnormal curvature of the spine, if the tumor creates muscular imbalance or erodes bones of the spine)
