Bilateral trigeminal neurofibrosarcoma. Case report

An autopsied case of bilateral trigeminal neurofibrosarcoma is reported. The right-sided inferior alveolar tumor was treated surgically and subsequently irradiated. There was no local recurrence during the ensuing 4 years. Two years after excision of that tumor, a left-sided trigeminal neurofibrosarcoma was subtotally removed. Two years later this same tumor was found to have extensively invaded the pons.
