Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Neurofibromatosis is a systemic neuroectodermal disease with diverse manifestations.
  • Bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis is a rare variant, presenting unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old male presented with bilateral papillomatous plaques in lumbar dermatomes.
  • Clinical presentation mimicked epidermal nevi.
  • Histologic examination revealed superficial neurofibromas.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates an unusual morphologic presentation of bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis.
  • Histopathology is crucial for accurate diagnosis of nevoid lesions.
  • The patient had unremarkable family, ophthalmologic, and neurologic histories.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the broad clinical spectrum of neurofibromatosis.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic importance of histological examination in suspected nevoid conditions.
  • Contributes to understanding rare variants of neurofibromatosis.
