Published: November 2023

We present the case of a 32-year-old male patient with a history of Neurofibromatosis type 1, who presented with active small bowel bleeding, initially diagnosed by observing bleeding in ileoscopy, presenting with hemodynamic instability, abdominal angiotomography was performed, identifying a mass with contrast enhancement and active bleeding at the middle jejunum level, for which an angiography with arterial embolization of the branch that supplies said area is performed. With the patient stable, a double-balloon antegrade enteroscopy was performed, observing a subepithelial, ulcerated lesion, endoscopic tattooing was performed and finally surgery was sent for resection by laparoscopy. The pathology study was compatible with a jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

Background/aim: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder with an incidence of approximately one in 3,000. More than half of the patients have new de novo pathogenic variants of the NF1 gene. In most family cases, all family members share an identical NF1-variant.

Background: To intraindividually compare the diagnostic performance of positron emission computed tomography (F-18-FDG-PET/CT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in a non-inferiority design for the discrimination of peripheral nerve sheath tumours as benign (BPNST), atypical (ANF), or malignant (MPNST) in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Results: In this prospective single-centre study, thirty-four NF1 patients (18 male; 30 ± 11 years) underwent F-18-FDG-PET/CT and multi-b-value DW-MRI (11 b-values 0 - 800 s/mm²) at 3T. Sixty-six lesions corresponding to 39 BPNST, 11 ANF, and 16 MPNST were evaluated.
