Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 and tuberous sclerosis are the two most common neurocutaneous disorders in humans. Both are transmitted as autosomal dominant conditions with a high rate of new mutations and similar clinical features. However, the two disorders have distinct and well-delineated genetic, biochemical, and physical findings. Simultaneous occurrence of these two conditions is rare. We report on a young girl who inherited both disorders, review similar cases reported in the world literature, and discuss possible implications of the presence of NF1 and TSC in the same individual.
