The use of electrodessication in the treatment of cutaneous neurofibromatosis: A retrospective patient satisfaction outcome assessment

摘要

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis I (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant disease giving rise to hundreds of cutaneous neurofibromas. In addition to localised symptoms such as pain and pruritus, these lesions can have a devastating psychosocial impact. To date, there is no consensus on the optimal management of these lesions. We present the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of a series of NF-1 patients treated with electrodessication by one surgeon.
