Abstract:
A 45-year-old man with a 20-year history of neurofibromatosis (NF-1) developed a massive astrocytoma 15 months following heart transplantation. CT before immunosuppressive therapy was normal. This is the 1st report of a de novo astrocytoma following immunosuppression in NF-1 and may indicate a causal relationship.
