We report a case of sudden death in a 28-year-old male diagnosed with neurofibromatosis at the age of 6 years. The patient had multiple café-au-lait spots which, although being benign, were an ominous sign in this context. The immediate cause of death was intrathoracic neurofibroma causing compression that led to fracture of the thoracic vertebrae and laceration of the aorta with massive hemothorax.
我们报告一例28岁男性突然死亡的病例，该男性6岁时被诊断患有神经纤维瘤病。患者有多处咖啡牛奶斑，虽然这些斑点是良性的，但在此病例中却是不祥之兆。直接死因是胸内神经纤维瘤造成压迫，导致胸椎骨折和主动脉撕裂并伴有大量血胸。
