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

## Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have been suggested to be the most common neurofibromatosis 1‐associated gastrointestinal tumors. This case report describes and compares US and CT findings of both abdominal neurofibromas and a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. On US, the GIST appea

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients have 10% of lifetime risk for developing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), one of the most aggressive cancers. We examined the spectrum of constitutional NF1 mutations among 24 NF1 patients with MPNST. We found mutations in 18 patients: four me

We report a 21-year-old male with symptomatic optic glioma who does not fulfill the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) according to standard NIH criteria. Analysis of the NF1 gene revealed a recurrent mutation in exon 37 (C6792A or Y2264X). This nonsense mutation causes skipping of exon 37 durin

## Abstract Telomerase activity (TA) and the expression of its enzymatic subunits, which have been demonstrated in many tumors, remain poorly investigated in tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). In this study, we analysed the association of TA and the expression of telomerase RNA

## Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian One of the main features of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is benign neurofibromas, 10-20% of which become transformed into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). The molecular basis of NF1 tumorigenesis is, however, still unclear. Ninety-one tumors
