Abstract
Ribosome-lamella complexes are occasionally seen in neoplastic disorde rs of the hematopoietic system, particularly in hairy cell leukemia. H owever, these structures are rare in epithelial and mesenchymal cells. In this report three tumors from a patient with neuro-fibromatosis (v on Recklinghausen's disease) are examined by electron microscopy. Ribo some-lamella complexes were seen in the perineurial cells. This may be the first report of these complexes in nerve sheath tumors.
