Bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis with gastric carcinoma

Abstract: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by café-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, intertriginous freckles, and Lisch nodules in the iris. Segmental neurofibromatosis is fundamentally a mosaic variant of NF1. A 66-year-old man visited us with bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis (SN) on the torso. He had multiple neurofibromas on the back bilaterally and on the right abdomen, and partial unilateral lentiginosis on the left abdomen and left back. The patient had noticed the de… Show more

“…This raises the possibility that individuals with only pigmentary changes have a higher risk of gonadal mosaicism. There is a risk of malignancy associated with the mutation, and there are several reports of patients with malignant tumors associated with MNF1 (30,37,39,55,59,63,65,77,83), although the risk could be expected to be lower than in complete NF1. In the 157 case reports, 11 had a malignancy (7%).…”

“…There have been a few reports of extracutaneous manifestations such as unilateral renal agenesis,18 learning difficulties,19 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor,20 Lisch nodules,11 and gastric carcinoma. 21 The two cases reported here represent mosaic general ized NF1 given that they both display generalized but incomplete features of classic NF1. In the first case, there are only neurofibromas, and in the second, there are both pigmentary changes, neurofibromas, and Lisch nodules.…”
