Abstract
Plexiform neurofibroma of the submandibular gland is an extremely rare tumor. We report the CT findings in a 6-year-old girl with type 1 neurofibromatosis who had a histopathologically proven submandibular gland plexiform neurofibroma. A "branching" hypodense mass was noted on the CT scan infiltrating the submandibular gland and the adjacent spaces of the neck. CT could be extremely valuable in suggesting the diagnosis.Entities:
