The two main peripheral nerve sheath tumors found in patients with neurofibromatosis, type 1 (NF1), are neurofibroma, a benign tumor, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). The tumors are related in that most MPNSTs are thought to arise by malignant transformation of neurofibromas. Suc
We investigated 31 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) from 23 patients by means of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in order to study quantitative genomic aberrations of these tumors. Twenty-one of the 23 patients revealed changes, with a mean value of 11 aberrations per sample
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors arise either sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, NF1) or type 2. In this study, comprehensive screening for relative chromosome copy number changes was performed on 10 benign and 19 malignant peripheral
## Background: Although nerve sheath tumors (neurilemmoma and neurofibroma) can occur on any nerve with schwann cells, laryngeal involvement is very uncommon. the vast majority of reported laryngeal nerve sheath tumors have been located in the supraglottic area. our case report involves the diagnos
