[Typical computed tomographic findings in neurofibromatosis].
Three patients with neurofibromatosis (Recklinghausen's disease) were examined by computer tomography. In this way, the exact extent and localisation of the neurofibromatous tumours could be demonstrated. In one patient, CT provided evidence of malignant change; this was verified histologically. The appearances of neurofibromatosis associated with elephantiasis is described. In each patient, treatment was significantly influenced by computer tomography.
