Abstract
Neurofibromatosis 1, also known as Von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common of the three neurofibromatoses. It is a multi-organ disease that is characterized by the development of cutaneous neurofibromas, plexiform neurofibromas, optic nerve gliomas, astrocytomas, Lisch nodules, and pheochromocytomas. We present a case of 66-year-old woman with NF-1. The disease presents with multiple cutaneous neurofibromas in both breasts. People living with NF-1 disease might have a different course of malignancy or other associated symptoms than the average individual without NF-1. It is essential that patients presenting with NF-1 symptoms are followed longitudinally to ensure that the progression of their symptoms are appropriately treated.
