[Tumors of the peripheral nervous system in the region of jaw and face].

Abstract

Benign and malign forms of tumors of the peripheral nervous system also occur in the region of jaw and face. They demonstrate a quite different dignity and different courses. Very well known is the neurofibromatosis (Recklinghausen) which can be observed in several variants in face. The possibility is pointed out that primarily benign tumours of the peripheral nervous system may be degenerated to malign ones and the course as well as the therapy with benign and malign tumours are being described.
