Abstract:
Neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen's disease, is the result of a genetic mutation affecting more than 80,000 persons in the United States. Also known as the "Elephant Man" disease, it is marked by multiple pedunculated soft tumors distributed over the entire body associated with areas of pigmentation. This article discusses various aspects of the disease, and presents a report of classical neurofibromatosis.
