Minimal intervention for neurofibromatosis type I manifestations: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1, OMIM: 162200) is a benign, autosomal dominant, tumorigenic predisposing syndrome with variable manifestations. Both neurofibromatosis and soft tissue sarcomas are associated with the formation of hematomas.
