Abstract: | We report a patient suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1 in whom neoplasms developed from the areas of altered signal
which are generally considered benign and typical of the disease. MRI, despite two previous examinations 3 and 2 years before
development of the tumour, gave no clue to an unfavourable outcome.
