Two hallmark features of NF1 are the wide range of potentially affected tissues and the enormous phenotypic variability of disease traits even among patients from the same family. We present a boy fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for NF1 with two unusual lesions: infantile myofibromatosis and a verrucous epidermal nevus. To our knowledge this association has never been described before.展开更多
