A rare plexiform neurofibroma of the submandibular gland in a patient with neurofibromatosis is presented. The clinical manifestations of the disease are reviewed. The need for early diagnosis of neurofibroma is emphasized because of malignant transformation.
Orbital involvement is a rare manifestation of multiple myeloma. Therefore, the correct diagnosis and appropriate management are usually difficult and generally require biopsy. We report a 60-year-old woman having multiple myeloma with orbital involvement. Right orbitozygomatic craniotomy was carried out and the mass lesion was removed. After the histological examination, the diagnosis of multiple myeloma was confirmed. The clinical course and the treatment modalities of this entity are discussed in view of the literature.
