Abstract

Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (neuro­fibromatosis type 1) is an autosomal dominant disorder that occurs in 1 in 3,000 life births. Ma­lignant degeneration of subcutaneous neurofibro­ma occurs in about 5 to 10 percent of patients;

however, manifestations in the vagus nerve are rare. There are five reported cases of malignant schwan­noma of the intrathoracic vagus nerve, and only one was associated with von Recklinghausen neurofi­bromatosis. We believe that we present the second reported case of a malignant peripheral nerve she­ath tumor, involving the vagus nerve in a patient with von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis.
