Plexiform neurofibromas are rare variant (30%) of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) in which neurofibromas arise as large deforming masses from multiple nerve endings involving also connective tissues and skin folds. We report a case of 24 years old female, second gravida and one parity with diagnosis of plexiform neurofibromatosis made in previous pregnancy with remission of symptoms after pregnancy and accentuation during second pregnancy with positive pregnancy outcome.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a rare disease which can manifest itself by the development of plexiform neurofibromatosis, with craniofacial deformities. In this paper, we propose special consideration in excision nasolabial fold mass to help lifting procedures in neurofibromatosis patients. We are reporting two case, both presented with von Recklinghausen’s disease, a 21 years old male patient with neurofibromatosis in his right hemifacial for which he had been operated on five times previously at other center, and a 24 years old male with neurofibromatosis in his left hemifacial. After several stages of reconstruction which started with nasolabial fold mass excision, the result was satisfactory, by using the multiple stage repair, it was done until the end result is similar to anatomical form. The mass debulking procedures for these patients, which started with Nasolabial Fold mass excisison are continued with durable lifting procedures. This method gives results a satisfactory lifting procedure.
