Neurofibromatosis Type 1 with Relapsed/Refractory Precursor B-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Concomitant occurrence of B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is rare.

Case presentation

We diagnosed and treated a child presenting with NF1 and relapsed B-LBL and reviewed the relevant literature through the last 8 years. Stage IV precursor B-LBL with central nervous system 3 was identified in this patient, with pain and activity abnormalities in both lower limbs.
