Abstract: Part 1 of this guideline addressed the differential diagnosis of the neurofibromatoses (NF): neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and schwannomatosis (SCH). NF shares some features such as the genetic origin of the neural tumors and cutaneous manifestations, and affects nearly 80 thousand Brazilians. Increasing scientific knowledge on NF has allowed better clinical management and reduced rate of complications and morbidity, resulting in higher quality of life for NF patients. Most med… Show more

“…These results partially corroborate the Barcelos-Corse's findings [12], where there were responses from the generator sites of waves I, III, and V in all individuals, emphasizing the integrity of the auditory system in this population. Taking into account the findings in the literature that refer to retrocochlear problems in NF1 [10,12,31,45], in this study it is possible to say that the sound information reaches the cochlea and is transformed into nerve impulses, thereby proving the functioning of the auditory pathway, but there are signs of delays along the pathway -observed in the extension of the BAEP wave latencies.…”

“…NF1 carriers present several dysplasias, since it is a multisystemic pathology of variable expressiveness and extreme pliotropy, with highly variable phenotypic expression, where it can highlight alterations in the entire central nervous system, with cognitive alterations, brain hyperintensiveness, macrocephaly, neuropsychological and learning damage. Similarly, at the peripheral level, there are tumors of neural origin -optical, ophthalmologic, osteomuscular, cardiovascular, endocrine, skin (spots and ephelides), and bone (dysplasias, osteopenia) gliomas [3,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…When it impairs function or affect self-image, surgery is recommended. Spinal neurofibroma may develop in any level of the spinal cord and can compromise its function in addition of the risk of malignant transformation into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (8-13%) [5,6]. Batista et al [6] proposed an algorithm for treatment of neurofibroma.…”

Batista et al [6] proposed an algorithm for treatment of neurofibroma. This cancer has bad prognosis and that's why patients affected with NF1 should be educated about unusual symptoms or those suggesting those complications.…”

“…Approximately 30% of the patients with primary high-grade soft tissue sarcoma (STS) develop metastatic disease within 5 years after diagnosis or primary treatment [1e3]. In addition, 7e14% of the STS patients have distant metastases at presentation [4,5]. STS mainly metastasize to the lungs [6e8].…”
