N2 - The tumor suppressor disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is associated with development of multiple neurofibromas which may grow intraneurally as plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) or intracutaneously (CNF). Upon surgery neurofibromas may show prominent swelling hindering skin-edge approximation. To assess whether the water binding glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan is involved in intra-operative swelling, 51 neurofibromas from 33 NF1-patients were investigated. Hyaluronan was histologically demonstrated and was quantified by ELISA. Molecular weight of hyaluronan was determined by gel filtration. Further, hyaluronan content was measured in cultivated Schwann cells and fibroblasts. Clinically, 67% of PNF were associated with moderate or severe intra-operative swelling, whereas only 36% of CNF showed this feature. Significantly higher levels of hyaluronan content were found in PNF compared to CNF (P?
