Abstract

Neurilemmomatosis is a clinical entity clearly distinguished from neurofibromatosis of von Recklinghausen's disease, and characteristically consists of multiple, cutaneuos neurilemmomas, central nervous system tumors, and neurologic disorders. A 52-year-old man, with multiple spinal cord neurilemmomas and unilateral acoutic neurilemmoma, presented with multiple subcutaneous nodules on the flexor parts of the extremities. Histologically, it was diagnosed as neurilemmoma. We report a case of neurilemmomatosis associated with CNS tumors.
