Clin Nucl Med. 2015 Jun;40(6):529-30. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000000750.

Abstract

Cardiac involvement is rare in neurofibromatosis 1 (NF 1). Very few cases of cardiac masses in this entity have been documented in the world literature. We present the F-FDG PET/CT findings in a rare case of cardiac plexiform neurofibromatosis.
