Abstract
In this poster I will present our recent experience with giant facial neurofibromas (GFNs). In case-1, a 29 year old man presented with GFN on the left face with severe facial deformity. We performed two staged excision and left facial reconstruction including the upper eyelid. In case-2, a 38 year old male exhibited an enormous, 30×25cm, left GFN. The patient was seeking surgical treatment for many years but unsuccessfully. We discuss in depth the surgical preparation for this case. Drawing upon a recent comprehensive literature review, we will include our new GFN Classification System and preoperative management algorithm.
