Abstract
We report a case of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) complicated by a malignant triton tumor (MTT), with an emphasis on B-mode sonographic (US) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing CEUS findings of MTT. The mass was poorly demarcated and composed of an internal echogenic area and an outer hypoechoic zone. CEUS findings showed the outer zone to be strongly enhanced, and the internal area was very poor in blood flow because of necrotic tissues.Entities:
