title: Multiple diverse intracranial and intramedullary spinal tumors. Report of a case.
abstract: A case of spinal ependymoma diagnosed 26 years after the removal of an acoustic neurinoma in a patient free of von Recklinghausen's disease is described. The extreme rarity of such a finding and the pathogenetic hypotheses regarding multiple primary tumors of the nervous system are discussed at the light of the literature.
