[Case report of familial generalized neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen disease)]

The authors made a report on a case of generalized neurofibromatosis (GN) in a patient, 21 years old, and her father, 59 years old, pointing to the family character of illness. They especially emphasized the presence of numerous family disseminated tumors of the neurofibroma type, on the skin of the torso and extremities, as well as the presence of simultaneous combination of these tumors with pigmented skin of the naevi spili (cafe au lait) type. In the reported cases no damages on other systems and organs have been found. Reports on such cases from the clinical practice may be important for education of young physicians of different medical fields.
