Background:

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is a genetic disorder impacting nerve cell tissue development.
NF1 is a multisystem disorder associated with an elevated risk of various cancers.

Observation:

Gastroduodenal stromal tumors occur in up to 35% of autopsies and 5% of clinical cases of von Recklinghausen disease.
A middle-aged woman was diagnosed with NF1 after an initial presentation and diagnosis of a pancreaticoduodenal tumor.

Findings:

This case report details the diagnostic process for NF1 in a patient with a pancreaticoduodenal tumor.
The findings underscore the importance of considering NF1 in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, particularly in individuals with suggestive clinical features.

Implications:

Early diagnosis of NF1 is crucial for managing associated risks, including cancer.
Increased awareness of the association between NF1 and gastrointestinal stromal tumors can lead to improved patient outcomes through timely intervention and surveillance.
