Overview
Neurofibroma may be classified into 5 subtypes: cutaneous/dermal/localized, subcutaneous, diffuse, intramuscular, and plexiform neurofibroma. Plexiform neurofibromas may be further sub-classified into diffuse and nodular plexiform.
Classification
Neurofibroma may be classified into following 5 subtypes:[1][2]
Types of neurofibromas | Characteristics/Description |

Cutaneous/Dermal/Localized (90%) | |
Subcutaneous |
|
Diffuse |
|
Intramuscular |
|
Plexiform |
|
Plexiform neurofibromas can be further subclassified into following:[3]
Types of neurofibromas | Characteristics/Description |
---|---|
