[Neurofibromatosis and the development of neurofibrosarcoma simulating Baker's cyst].

A 39-year-old female patient with familiar neurofibromatosis developed a sarcoma in the hollow of the knee that appeared clinically and sonographically as a Baker cyst. Following an operation to remove the tumour and subsequent local radiation treatment multiple metastases appeared distant to the primary tumour from which the patient died. On the observation of a Baker cyst in a patient with neurofibromatosis the possibility of malignant degeneration must be kept in mind and an operation carried out immediately.

Retroperitoneal neurofibrosarcoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis. 2: A case report and review of the literature.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) type I (NF1) is the most common familial cancer-predisposing syndrome in humans, while type 2 (NF2) accounts for an extremely small percentage of the total cases of NF. Tumors occurring in patients with NF1 are primarily peripheral neurofibromas, while NF2 patients present with central schwannomas. Malignant transformation has been described in NF1 patients; however, in NF2 the risk of malignant transformation is extremely rare. In this case report, the authors document a retroperitoneal neurogenic sarcoma occurring in a 20-year-old woman with NF2 (bilateral acoustic schwannomas, meningioma, and multiple intraspinal tumors).
