  • Title: [Pigmented neurofibroma].
    Author: Jurecka W, Mainitz M, Gebhart W, Metze D, Bruck HG, Kofler K.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1988 Mar; 39(3):166-9. PubMed ID: 3378888.
    Abstract:
    In a 24-year-old male melanin synthesis was demonstrated in a neurofibroma by light and electron microscopy. Although it is unclear whether the tumor cells are pigment-synthesizing Schwann cells or whether they originate from a coexisting melanocytic tumor, this tumor again demonstrates the close relationship between peripheral nerve sheath tumors and melanocytic malformations, as for example cellular blue nevi.
