With the rise of social media influence and ease of accessibility of information, patients often encounter and implement hair loss advice from sources other than medical professionals. Many of these recommendations include herbs and other natural extracts (ie, rosemary oil, rice water, onion juice, garlic gel) as treatments. This review aims to investigate the evidence-based research behind these claims.

In rare instances, neurofibromas may spontaneously bleed. In this case, a 21-year-old woman with a known cutaneous neurofibroma presented with a rapidly enlarging right abdominal wall mass. After embolization of a focal pseudoaneurysm and the right internal mammary artery, her hemoglobin continued to decline. The right internal mammary artery and inferior epigastric artery were then embolized. The patient eventually underwent mass resection, hematoma evacuation, and flap reconstruction. Final surgical pathology confirmed the expected diagnosis of plexiform neurofibroma. The Schwann cells of plexiform neurofibromas, present in approximately 50% of patients with neurofibromatosis-1, have invasive and angiogenic properties, often resulting in hemorrhage.
