I.はじめに
Von Recklinghausen病は皮膚を主病変とする遺伝性疾患であるが,種々の脳腫瘍を合併することもよく知られている.合併する脳腫瘍のなかではacoustic neurino—maが最も多く,次いでmeningiomaやgliomaなどが挙げられ,gliomaのなかでは高分化のoptic glimaが多く,malignant gliomaは少ないと言われている6,14).
一方,ghosarcomaはglioblastomaとsarcomaからなり稀なものと考えられていたが,anaplastic astrocyto—maの8%を占めるとするものもあり13),近年本邦でも10数例報告されている10).
A very rare case of gliosarcoma with von Reckling-hausen's disease is presented. A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in March 1990, because of a 2-month history of personality change and left hemi-paresis. Multiple neurofibromata over his whole body with many cafe au lait spots had been present since early childhood. His mother, brothers and children also had cafe au lait spots. Neurological examination on admis-sion revealed memory disturbance, left homonymous hemianopsia and left hemiparesis.
CT scan showed a large lobular lesion in the right term poroparietal region. The medial hypodense part was sharply demarcated by a ring-like enhancement, while the lateral isodense part was homogeneously enhanced. MRI showed a sharply demarcated high intensity lesion with Gd-EDTA enhancement corresponding to the en-hanced area on CT. Faint staining on angiography re-vealed that the blood supply to the tumor was predomi-nantly d ural.
At surgery, the tumor was solid and highly vascular, and adhered tightly to the dura. The superficial part of the tumor was well demarcated from the brain tissue, but the demarcation was obscure in the deeper part.
Histological findings showed two clearly defined neo-plastic components: a gliomatous component that was stained for GFAP, and a sarcomatous component that had spindle-shaped nuclei and eosinophilic fibers. The patient underwent radiotherapy after surgery, but the tumor soon recurred. A second operation was per-formed, but the tumor had infiltrated into the scalp and he died 10 months after the first operation.
This combination is very rare and has not been re ported previously.
