Analysis of vascularity of human neurofibromas
JL Arbiser, E Flynn, RL Barnhill - Journal of the American Academy of …, 1998 - Elsevier
Background: A common misperception is that the vascularity of a tumor can be determined
by its gross appearance. Neurofibromas are grossly white in appearance. The degree of
vascularity of neurofibromas has not been determined. Objective: The purpose of this study
was to determine the extent of neovascularization of neurofibromas. Methods:
Neurofibromas from patients with neurofibromatosis-1 or spontaneous neurofibromas were
stained with antibodies against von Willebrand factor (factor VIII–related antigen) and …
