Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with multiple systemic manifestations. Pulmonary involvement has been reported in the form of interstitial fibrosis, emphysema, pulmonary hypertension and thoracic neoplasm. We report a case of desquamative interstitial pneumonia in a non-smoker with NF1.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is a one of the more common hereditary autosomal disorders. However, osteomalacia in neurofibromatosis type 1 is very rare tumour-induced osteomalacia; fibroblast growth factor-23 is usually implicated. Patients and methods: We report the case of a patient with a history of von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis who presented with hypophosphataemic osteomalacia. Results: The patient was treated with high-dose calcitriol and oral phosphate with clinical improvement. Conclusion: Even though it is a rare entity, we must consider the diagnosis of hypophosphataemic osteomalacia in patients with neurofibromatosis in order to deliver appropriate treatment.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (Von Recklinghausen disease) is a common, autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by involvement of multiple tissues derived from the neural crest. Urinary system involvement in neurofibromatosis is a rare condition. Leiomyoma of the bladder is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. In this case, our experience and approach regarding the bladder leiomyoma development in a patient diagnosed with neurofibromatosis are presented and the literature data has been reviewed.

ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a tumor syndrome and one of the most common genetic disorders. Patients have an increased risk of developing neurologic and gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms, but GI lesions are often underrecognized since most cases are asymptomatic. It is extremely rare to see multiple types of abdominal tumors synchronously in NF1. In this case, we describe a patient presenting with a small, low-grade periampullary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection and later pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure). This led to findings of lymph node and distant metastasis of her NET, and the incidental discovery of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, extensive pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and main duct and side branch intraductal pancreatic mucinous neoplasm. The synchronous presence of these lesions has not been reported in the literature.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most autosomal dominant genetic disorders. NF1 vasculopathy is a rare complication of NF1 with prevalence up to 6% including aneurysms, arterial stenosis, aorta coarctation and arteriovenous malformations [...]
