Overview

Patients present with a rapidly enlarging mass that may be painful or cause local neurological symptoms such as weakness or paresthesias. The development of new, worsening, or persistent pain in the neurofibroma of a patient with NF1 is an important symptom that should always be conscientiously evaluated, even if there was already pre-existing chronic discomfort from the lesion. Symptoms of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor include peripheral edema, difficulty in moving the affected extremity, pain, and numbness.[1]
