Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Diagnosis* of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and extensive plexiform and/or paraspinal
             neurofibromasproducing pain (not controlled by use of over-the-counter medications),
             progressive neurologic deficit, or significant neurologic consequenceswith continuous
             tumor growth

               -  Extensive paraspinal neurofibroma defined as a neurofibroma that involves
                  multiple neural roots at ≥ 3 spinal levels with connection between the levels or
                  extending laterally along the nerves

                    -  Symptomatic neurofibromas at < 3 spinal levels, but surgical treatment is
                       not possible, allowed

          -  Meets ≥ 2 diagnostic criteria for NF1, including the following:

               -  Six or more café-au-lait spots (≥ 1.5 cm in postpubertal patients)

               -  Freckling in the axilla or groin

               -  Optic glioma

               -  Two or more Lisch nodules

               -  Distinctive bony lesion (dysplasia of the sphenoid bone or dysplasia orthinning
                  of long-bone cortex)

               -  First-degree relative with NF1

          -  Patients with documented mutation in neurofibromin gene with onlysymptomatic plexiform
             and/or paraspinal neurofibroma who do not fulfill the above clinical criteria are
             eligible

          -  Measurable disease, defined as ≥ 1 lesion whose longest diameter can beaccurately
             measured as 8.0 cm^3 with 3-dimensional (3D) MRI

               -  Skin lesions are consideredmeasurable (e.g., plexiform neurofibromas), but MRI
                  imaging still required for 3D measurement

          -  Patients with symptomatic neurofibroma, in whom surgery is not feasible, who refuse
             surgery or are not goodsurgical candidates due to high risk of damage to vital
             structures or spinal cordinjury are eligible

          -  No evidence of progressive optic glioma, malignant glioma, malignant peripheralnerve
             sheath tumor, or other cancer requiring treatment with chemotherapy orradiotherapy

          -  WBC ≥ 3,000/mm^3

          -  Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm^3

          -  Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm^3

          -  Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL

          -  Alkaline phosphatase normal

          -  AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal

          -  Thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxin normal

          -  Creatinine normal OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

          -  Ejection fraction ≥ 50% by echocardiogram

          -  Not pregnant or nursing

          -  Negative pregnancy test

          -  Fertile patients must use effective contraception

          -  No other uncontrolled, serious medical condition that would preclude study
             participation, including any of the following:

               -  Diabetes

               -  Serious infection

               -  Significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or other organ dysfunction

          -  No psychiatric illness or social situation that would preclude study compliance
