Abstract

More than 50% of malignant peripheral schwannomas originate from neurofibroma, with very poor prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of treatment guidelines and the effect is not ideal. Based on the views of Life Gate Theory including that "life gate is hub of nature" and "the fire of the life gate should be supplemented with water", supplementing the fire of the life gate applies both "radix rehmanniae preparata and astragalus" to nourish Yin and Qi, which has formed a new approach to diagnose and treat NF1 malignant peripheral neurofibroma with traditional Chinese medicine. Case I is attached for proof.

Keywords

Fire and water of life gate; Malignant peripheral schwannoma; supplement in water
