Recklinghausen’s neurofibromatosis associated with the development of malignant schwannoma

https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2026-23-1-15

Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of a rare disease neurofibromatosis (NF). Typical clinical symptoms, diagnostic and therapeutic tactics are demonstrated. The problems of cancer alertness and malignancy are touched on. Patients with NF1 have a high risk of developing neoplasms, including a high risk of malignancy, which significantly reduces the life expectancy of these people.
