Association of GIST,Breast Cancer and Schwannoma in a 60-Year-Old Woman Affected by Type-1 von Recklinghausen's Neurofibromatosis

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis (NF1 or von Recklinghausen's disease) is a common autosomal dominant disease associated with a higher incidence of neoplasms than in the general population. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman affected by NF1 who was coincidentally diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, a breast carcinoma and a peripheral nervous system tumor.
