✓ An occipital scalp tumor first noted in a Nigerian girl during the first month of her life gradually increased in size and 13 years later measured 20 × 16 × 17 cm. A skull film revealed a 2 × 4-cm skull defect underneath the tumor over the lambdoid suture. Complete excision of the tumor was achieved although it was adherent to the dura of the transverse sinus. It was histologically confirmed to be plexiform neurofibroma. There were no other signs of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.

Von Recklinghausen’S Neurofibromatosis

Abstract Intracranial gliomas are found in association with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. However, few truly neonatal lesions have been identified and studied. This case report concerns a 4-month-old child who was found to have a massive thalamic glioma of moderate grade. Four paternal generations had suffered from different manifestations of this transmissible autosomal-dominant (Ad) phakomatosis.
