[Neurofibromatosis 1-related tumors in pediatric patients]

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a multisystem genetic disorder associated with a lifelong increased risk of tumor development. Comprehensive monitoring of patients with NF1, involving a multidisciplinary team of specialists and the implementation of screening programs, is crucial for the early detection of associated pathological conditions that contribute to disability and reduced life expectancy. This article presents a clinical case of an adolescent female patient with tumor manifestations of NF1, in whom both diagnosed neoplasms - plexiform neurofibroma and pheochromocytoma, had a symptomatic course, significantly affecting her physical health and quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach and correct treatment led to favorable outcomes, enabling the patient to resume a normal lifestyle, despite the continuation of targeted therapy.
