Abstract
- The case of 38-year-old woman bearer of a congenital giant naevus "en pélerine" with numerous neurofibromas and other satellite naevi was reported: the patient was afflicted by spastic tetraparesis, more pronounced on the right side. MRIscan of the spine revealed the presence of a cervical spinal tumor shown histologically to be a psammomatous meningioma. The skin picture was consistent with neurocutaneous melanosis; the rarity of its association with neurofibromatosis and spinal meningioma is discussed in the light of embryologic arguments.
