title: Familial multiple neurilemoma. A case report.
abstract: A case of familial multiple neurilemoma is reported. A 59-year-old man with five neurilemomas was treated. Fifteen of his 22 family members had had soft-tissue tumors. Ten neurilemomas had been diagnosed microscopically in five members of the family. There were no symptoms related to von Recklinghausen's disease. This case seems to be a forme fruste or related form of von Recklinghausen's disease.
