Case 4. The lesions are large and pedunculated protruding 2 cm and 6 cm, respectively, from the nipple-areolar complexes.

The lesions were large and pedunculated, and extended outward 2 cm and 6 cm respectively from the areolar region (Figure 1).

Case 6. The lesions deforming both nipples and areolar regions.

The lesions were painful and extended outward at least 7 cm to 8 cm from the nipple and areola, thus deforming both nipples (Figure 2).

Case 9. The extensive congenital plexiform neurofibroma involved the outer quadrants of her right breast and extends to the nipple-areolar complex and to the homolateral axillary region and arm.

An inspection of her skin revealed extensive congenital plexiform neurofibroma in the outer quadrants of her right breast that extended to the nipple-areolar complex and to the homolateral axillary region and arm (Figure 3).
Case 4. The neurofibroma is composed of widely spaced cells with elongated nuclei and scant cytoplasm and embedded in mucopolysaccaride-rich, variably collagenous matrix (hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification (A) x125, and (B) x250).

In particular, the 4th and 6th patients had neurofibromas that were composed of widely spaced cells devoid with elongated nuclei and scant cytoplasm and embedded in matrices that were rich in mucopolysaccharide and variably collagenous (Figures 4a and 4b).
Case 9. The cell formations resemble Wagner-Meissner corpuscles. These are spherical and aggregated (haematoxylin and eosin staining; original magnification x640).

Tactile differentiation was apparent, and the pseudomeissnerian corpuscles were found to be spherical and aggregated (Figure 5).
