Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze growth rate and identify prognostic factors for
progression of postoperative plexiform neurofibromas in patients with neurofibromatosis
type 1. Methods We measured postoperative tumor volume change per year on magnetic
resonance imaging. Linear regression models were applied to identify risk factors for tumor
progression. Results Fifty-two patients (mean age: 25.4 years (3.2–64.2 years)) with 56
plexiform neurofibromas were analyzed. Initial median tumor volume was 40.3 ml (SD: 1,552 …
