Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disease in which multiple soft tumors (neurofibromas) develop under the skin and throughout the nervous system.

Various sized tumors may grow on the nerves in or leading away from the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves) and in the vascular system (veins and arteries) and other organ systems.

In both types of NF, a genetic defect causes these neural crest cells to develop abnormally, resulting in numerous tumors and malformations of the nerves, bones, and skin.

Primary tumors or cells that have metastasized absorb the radioactive material and show up as dark spots on the scan.

This technique is effective in identifying cells that are found in Ewing's sarcoma but are not present in other malignant tumors.

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder in which noncancerous (benign) tumors grow on the brain, skin, kidneys, eyes, heart, and lungs.

The name tuberous sclerosis refers to characteristics of the benign tumors that grow within the brain.

The tumors have root-like or tuberous appendages.

Over time, the tumors undergo sclerosis, meaning they calcify and grow hard.

The tumors of tuberous sclerosis occur throughout the body, including the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, eyes, and skin.

Some, however, develop multiple tumors (multifocal) in one or both eyes.

Individuals with multiple independent tumors, bilateral retinoblastoma, or trilateral retinoblastoma are more likely to be affected with the inherited form of retinoblastoma.

Malignant (cancerous) tumors can spread to other parts of the body.

Although most people with the inherited form of retinoblastoma develop bilateral tumors, approximately 15 percent of people with a tumor in only one eye (unilateral) are affected with an inherited form of retinoblastoma.

It can also sometimes help guide treatment choices, since patients with an inherited form of retinoblastoma may be at increased risk for developing recurrent tumors or other types of cancers, particularly when treated with radiation.

This system is used to classify intraocular tumors and predict which tumors are favorable enough that sight can be maintained.

In order for the tumors to be considered multifocal, they must have arisen independently and not as the result of the spread of cancer cells.

The treatment chosen depends on the size and number of tumors, whether the cancer is unilateral or bilateral, and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Radiation therapy is often used for treatment of large tumors when preservation of sight is possible.

Photocoagulation therapy is often used in conjunction with radiation therapy but may be used alone to treat small tumors that are located on the back of the eye.

Cryotherapy is a treatment often used in conjunction with radiation therapy but can also be used alone on small tumors located on the front part of the retina.

It is generally used for tumors of medium size.

Chemotherapy is sometimes used to shrink tumors prior to other treatments such as radiation therapy or brachytherapy.

Occasionally, it is also used alone to treat very small tumors.

Smaller, more localized tumors can sometimes be treated by local therapies such as cryotherapy, photocoagulation therapy, thermotherapy or brachytherapy.

Some centers may use chemotherapy in place of radiation therapy when the tumors are too large to be treated by local therapies or are found over the optic nerve of the eye.

As of the early 2000s, many centers are moving away from radiation treatment and toward chemotherapy because it is less likely to induce future tumors.

Most of the secondary cancers are skin cancers, bone tumors (osteosarcomas), and soft-tissue sarcomas.

Soft-tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors of the muscle, nerves, joints, blood vessels, deep skin tissues, or fat.

Functioning tumors may cause overproduction of sex hormones.

As these tumors grow, they may press on nearby structures within the brain, causing headaches and changes in vision.

Children with MEN1 rarely develop tumors of the pancreas until they reach adulthood.

Individuals with MEN 2A have a predisposition to develop tumors of the parathyroid gland.

However, MEN 2A shows no distinct physical features and must be identified by measuring hormone levels or by finding endocrine tumors.
