Abstract

Wappenschmidt, J., Lins, E. and Kirchner, M.: Solitary neurofibroma in a child. Neuropadiatrie 6: 112-116(1975). This is a case report of solitary neurofibroma in a fourteen year old child.Attention should be called to the rarity of this case. I t is remarkable that in spite of considerable size there were no symptoms for a long time. The mass was exclusively localised extraspinal. There were compression markings on the vertebral bodies in the cervico-thoracal region. Of most interest are the angiiographical features with staining of the capsule of the mass and homogenous staining of the tumor. Solitary neurofibroma in a child
