Abstract
- Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is a kind of neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by skin, nervoussystem, neuromusculoskeletal manifestations. Most central and peripheral nervous neoplastic lesions in neurofibromatosis are benign but have a significant potential for malignant transformation such as neurofibrosarcoma, neurogenic sarcoma, malignant schwannoma.
