Treatment of a large high-grade neurofibrosarcoma with concomitant vinblastine, doxorubicin, and radiotherapy.

Abstract	A patient with neurofibromatosis developed a large inoperable malignant schwannoma on the posterior neck. The tumor underwent complete local regression following combined-modality treatment with radiotherapy, vinblastine, and doxorubicin. Vinblastine may be effective in combined-modality therapy.
