Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a group of genetic disorders.
  • It is characterized by tumors growing on nerves.
  • Common signs include café au lait spots and Lisch nodules.

Observation:

  • An unusual case of NF was observed.
  • Patients presented with cutaneous neurofibromas.
  • The neurofibromas were localized to the anterior chest in a bilateral dermatomal distribution.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited only localized cutaneous neurofibromas.
  • No other typical NF signs were detected.
  • Family history for NF was negative.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the heterogeneity of NF presentations.
  • It emphasizes the diagnostic consideration of segmental NF.
  • Further research into atypical NF variants is warranted.
