Abstract

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the most common genetic disorders. It is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. It primarily affects the neural tissues. Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) also known as well as Recklinghausen’s disease is the most common type. We present a case of a 62-year-old lady with NF-1. The disease was apparent since childhood with appearance of multiple hyper-pigmented skin macules. With time, more cutaneous lesions appeared and grew bigger all over the body surface. Because of huge neurofibromatosis over posterior neck, patient came for further treatment.
