    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Dermatology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Neurofibromatosis encompasses various clinical presentations.
    • Understanding its diverse forms is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • An unusual case of neurofibromatosis involving a bilateral dermatomal distribution on the trunk is presented.
    • The patient had no family history and no other systemic signs of neurofibromatosis.

    Findings:

    • The case illustrates a rare manifestation of neurofibromatosis.
    • The segmental form of neurofibromatosis is emphasized.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of neurofibromatosis presentations.
    • Further research into segmental neurofibromatosis is warranted for improved diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies.
