Neurofibroma

  • Like a Schwannoma, but they aren’t encapsulated (very well circumscribed, though)

  • The nerve is integrated into the tumor and the 2 can’t be separated without sacrificing the nerve

  • People with NF type I (von Recklinghausen’s syndrome) thousands of these may be present, some with malignant potential (are usually solitary, benign skin lesions)
