A case of neurofibromatosis in a 7-year-old boy from Greenland is presented. The patient suddenly developed a severe thoracic scoliosis because of a total luxation of the upper thoracic vertebrae caused by erosion from soft tissue tumours in the region. Tomography revealed the bone changes, and CT whole-body scanning showed the extent of the soft tissue tumours and also the destruction of the vertebrae. The diagnosis was verified by biopsy.
