The relationship between neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile xanthogranuloma, and malignancy: A retrospective case-control study

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) predisposes individuals to the development of benign and malignant tumors.

It is unclear whether JXG alone constitute a risk factor for leukemia or other malignancies in children with NF-1.
