von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is the most common inherited syndrome predisposing to neoplasia, particularly neural crest-derived tumors. However, lung malignancies reported in association with neurofibromatosis are sparse. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with NF-1 that manifested as carcinoma of lung, in order to discuss the linkage between these two entities.
冯雷克林霍增氏神经纤维瘤病(NF-1)是最常见的易患肿瘤的遗传性综合征,尤其是神经嵴来源的肿瘤。然而,与神经纤维瘤病相关的肺癌报道却很罕见。我们报告一例48岁患有NF-1的男性患者,其表现为肺癌,旨在探讨这两种疾病之间的联系。
