Abstract
Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) is the most common heredita ry syndrome predisposing to neoplasia. The most common symptomatic man ifestation of NF1 is the plexiform neurofibroma. We describe the case of a patient with classical von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis prese nting with a giant cell tumor (GCT) of the occipital bone infiltrating a surrounding plexiform neurofibroma.
