Abstract

Variable manifestations of neurofibromatosis are properly defined as a hereditary, harmatomatous disorder, probably of neural crest origin, involving not only neuroectoderm and mesoderm but also endoderm, with the potential of appearing in any organ system of the body. Recently, we have experienced 3 cases of neurofibromatosis, one case associated with glioblastoma multiforme in left frontal lobe, another case associated with multiple neurofibromas in thoracic region and cauda equina, the third case associated with retroperitoneal neurofibroma and dural ectasia.
