Abstract
|
|
|
|
In general, patients with neurofibromatosis type I have a higher risk than those with other types of neurofibromatosis of developing soft-tissue sarcomas related to the nervous system. We here present a 42-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type I who developed a protruding mass over only 2 weeks. The histopathological diagnosis was epithelioid sarcoma. Epithelioid sarcomas are rare and, to the best of our knowledge, no epithelioid sarcomas have been reported in patients with neurofibromatosis type I. Radical excision of the primary lesion was performed and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy administered, as is recommended for epithelioid sarcoma. Our case emphasizes that patients with neurofibromatosis type I may develop malignant tumors
