  • Title: Malignant schwannoma of the stomach in a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease.
    Author: Croker JR, Greenstein RJ.
    Journal: Histopathology; 1979 Jan; 3(1):79-85. PubMed ID: 107107.
    Abstract:
    A patient with von Recklinghausen's disease died with a malignant schwannoma of the stomach and was found at autopsy to have neurofibromatosis of the gastrointestinal tract, a plexiform neurofibroma of the myocardium and a phaechromocytoma. Malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract in von Recklinghausen's disease is rare, and this case highlights the difficulties in histological diagnosis of malignant nerve sheath tumours.
