Abstract

RODRIGUEZ CALZADILLA, Orlando L. Fibrolipoma en un paciente con la enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2000, vol.37, n.2, pp. 112-119. ISSN 1561-297X.

The case of a patient who suffers from Von Recklinghausen´s disease is reported. The patient was evaluated and his therapeutic conduct was deferred because the presence of a neurofibromatous tumor was suspected. The patient was referred to the outpatient department of our service and once the studies were concluded, he underwent surgical treatment. The patient had no transoperative or postoperative complications. He stayed in hospital only 3 days. The Department of Pathological Anatomy reported the presence of a fibrolipoma (mesodermic neoplasia). 3 years later the patient proved to be asymptomatic and without local relapse. Similar cases of patients with a fibrolipoma in Von Recklinghausen´s disease are not reported in the reviewed medical literature.
