Surgery Today, 10/06/09
Koksal Y et al. – Neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen’s disease, is an autosomal–dominant inherited disorder. Some tumors may develop in these patients, including optic pathway gliomas, astrocytomas, brainstem gliomas, chronic myeloid leukemia, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 show also an increased risk of endocrine tumors, especially pheochromocytomas, whereas thyroid carcinoma is very rare. It is also rare for a neurofibroma to arise in the tissue neighboring the thyroid gland, and mimicking a nonfunctional thyroid nodule.
