"I can't stand it I just want to get rid of it quickly." Xiaowen, a 16-year-old boy, is lying in the dental surgery ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College His eyebrows and eyes are low, his voice is very light, and he looks very introverted In April of this year, he took a hard seat train for 20 hours alone and secretly came to Taizhou, Zhejiang Province from his hometown in Guizhou Province to find his father "He escaped In April, as soon as the mid-term exam of the third semester of the junior high school was finished, I came out, and I didn't talk about it with my teachers or grandparents I didn't call until I got to Taizhou When I saw him at the railway station, I was so angry that I wanted to beat him However, the child's suffering, I know, to be a father should be good for him " Xiao Wen's father's hands were propped on the railing of the hospital bed, his voice trembled, his eyes were red, and he seemed to cry "Birthmark" on the face suddenly grows larger and larger Yan Fengguo, deputy chief physician of Zhejiang second stomatology department, is Xiaowen's chief surgeon "Xiaowen is ill Fortunately, at this time, it will be difficult to wait another year and a half." Yan said Xiaowen had a "neurofibroma" on his left cheek The tumor is benign, with a prominent raised skin and brown patches that look like little leopard prints "He was born with this thing At that time, it was only the size of the fingernail, and it was also brown We thought it was a birthmark When he was 14 or 15 years old, he suddenly felt that his face was big and small, and grew up slowly from the birthmark Moreover, there were more and more birthmarks on his face, one by one, as if he couldn't wash them clean all the time " Xiaowen's father said that he also took the child to the hospital The doctor said that the disease could not be cured well, and his face would only get swollen, and finally his eyes would be covered How can I stand it when I hear that the child is already sensible? I didn't talk all the way home I cried secretly in the middle of the night Sometimes I punched myself in the face in the mirror His family decided to take him to Hangzhou Doctors in zhe2 told them that it was a "neurofibroma", a benign tumor that can be removed surgically "But it's very difficult to resect, mainly because the tumor is usually close to the nerve or grows directly on the nerve It's difficult to resect the tumor without damaging the nerve The tumor is like a blood sac, which is filled with blood vessels Everything breaks the tumor, causing massive bleeding and blood gushing out It can't stop bleeding at all Xiaowen's neurofibroma is long in the left cheek, with a diameter of about seven or eight centimeters It compresses five nerves These nerves control the expressional muscles If he is injured, he will not blink, smile and other expressions " Yan Fengguo, Xiaowen's chief doctor, said Last week, Dr Yan Fengguo and Dr Xu Xin operated on Xiaowen, removed the neurofibroma and transplanted a piece of skin on his thigh to his face "It is estimated that half a year later, the newly sewn skin on his face will be the same as the original skin, and the scars left by the operation will slowly fade down." Yan said There are five or six "birthmarks" on the body We should be careful about neurofibroma Doctor Yan said that there are many cases like Xiaowen We should learn from him "Xiaowen has a brown 'birthmark' on his face, which is the expression of neurofibroma on the skin, not just pigmentation If there are five or six Brown "birthmarks" all over the body, you should be more careful, and the possibility of getting this benign tumor is higher " This suggests that the "birthmark" of neurofibroma is very characteristic: the color is brown, the color of the whole birthmark is uneven, the edge is not clear, also known as "milk coffee spot"; once the disease occurs, the "birthmark" will grow rapidly If someone in the family has had a neurofibroma and has a suspicious "birthmark", it is recommended that you go to the dermatology department for investigation Neurofibroma is long and big under the skin tissue It is most common on the head and face It is not painful to touch, and its texture is very soft It is found that there is an inexplicable mass on the body, which grows rapidly We should also go to the hospital as soon as possible.
