Bilateral neurofibromatosis in male nipple

case report

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder often diagnosed in childhood due to its early clinical manifestations, which include skin, eye, tumor, bone, and neurological changes. Also known as Von Recklinghausen’s disease, it is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in every 3,000 individuals worldwide. This report discusses a typical case of neurofibromatosis type 1 with multiple café-au-lait spots distributed over the body, mainly concentrated on the trunk, abdomen, and back, and particularly on the patient’s nipples. Surgical treatment was performed, with the excision of the nipple lesions showing good clinical progress.
