title: [Large bilateral lung opacities].
abstract: We report the case of a 42-year-old woman operated for neurofibroma of the scalp on two occasions who consulted for bilateral chest pain which reveated two voluminous bilateral pulmonary masses. Biopsy of one of these masses was in favor of secondary or primary leiomyosarcoma. The association of Von Recklinghausen's disease and soft tissue sarcoma is rare: most often neurofibroma which degenerates is observed. Other types of sarcoma, like leiomyosarcoma, have been described.
