    Archives of Dermatology
    |July 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Segmental neurofibromatosis (NF) cases are reviewed, with new cases presented. This condition can evolve into generalized NF and may be inherited, requiring genetic counseling.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Dermatology
    • Medical Case Studies

    Background:

    • Neurofibromatosis (NF) encompasses a group of genetic disorders.
    • Segmental neurofibromatosis (NF) is a recognized subtype.
    • Riccardi's classification provides diagnostic criteria for NF.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of segmental neurofibromatosis (NF) and one bilateral segmental NF case are detailed.
    • Previous segmental NF cases were re-evaluated using strict diagnostic criteria.
    • Existing literature on segmental NF was critically reviewed.

    Findings:

    • Previously reported cases were categorized into four distinct subgroups.
    • Segmental NF demonstrates potential for progression to generalized NF.
    • A heritable pattern was observed in some segmental NF cases.

    Implications:

    • Genetic counseling is essential for individuals with segmental NF.
    • Counseling should address the potential for disease progression.
    • The findings refine the understanding and classification of segmental NF.
