The cystic bone changes of neurofibromatosis are usually either multiple or subperiosteal (Friedmann, 1944;Hensley, 1953;Hart and Basom, 1958).…”

Other cases in the literature are reviewed and discussed.Solitary lesions affecting the vertebral bodies are uncommon and present problems in regard to both diagnosis and treatment. This case report describes how such a lesion was investigated and found at operation to be a neurilemmoma probably arising from within the vertebral body. The
