چکیده انگلیسی
Dysphagia is a symptom associated with various diseases of the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tract, and it may be the presenting symptom of numerous tumors of the head and neck. Plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are benign tumors of the peripheral nerves and connective tissue, which are usually associated with neurofibromatosis type1. We present a rare case of a 52-year-old woman presenting with dysphagia and weight loss due to a massive PNF in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of the posterior neck, associated with C1-C2 dislocation, scoliosis of the vertebral column, and 2 meningoceles consistent with the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type1. The combination of large PNF and cervical spine dysplasia may cause compression of the upper gastrointestinal tract and chronic progressive dysphagia.
