41
Q

Treatment for NF1

A

Remove traumatized neurofibromas, genetic counseling, follow up (malignant transformation)

42
Q

Prognosis for NF1

Poor of malignant transformation occurs

43
Q

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) has ___ ___ origin

A

Neural crest

44
Q

MNTI usually develops:

A

In the first year of life

45
Q

Where is MNTI typically seen

A

Anterior maxilla

46
Q

What color is MNTI

Brown/Black

47
Q

Are most MNTIs benign or malignant?

A

Benign

48
Q

Characteristic radiographic feature of MNTI

PEH

55
Q

Congenital epulis is S-100 (____), while granular cell tumors are S-100 (_____)

A

(-) - doesn’t stain for neural differentiation

A

No - arise by 8 weeks

Exception is non-involuting congenital hemangioma (developed fully at birth)

61
Q

Most common intraoral site for a hemangioma

A

Tongue

62
Q

Hemangioma treatment

A

Watch and do nothing (most will resolve) unless problematic or life-threatening unless is impairs vision (otherwise wait until 6 yo)
