description | Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic disease that leads to a specific collection of symptoms. Most patients over time develop cutaneous manifestations, which include neurofibromas, freckling, or even cafe-au-lait spots. In general, patients with NF1 have a shorter life expectancy than non-affected individuals. This report aims to present our patient with NF1 and one of its rare manifestations, neurofibromatosis with diffuse lung disease. Hopefully, by describing this case and our patient's condition, it will serve as a resource to those treating similar patients. |
