Elephantiasis neuromatosa is the most impressive manifestation of neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1). We report a case of NF-1 who presented with elephantiasis neuromatosa of his right leg. Cross-sectional imaging not only assists in the correct diagnosis but also aids in imaging the vasculature of a plexiform neurofibroma, which is essential for proper surgical planning.
神经瘤性象皮病是1型神经纤维瘤病(NF-1)最显著的表现。我们报告1例NF-1患者,其右腿出现神经瘤性象皮病。横断面成像不仅有助于正确诊断,还有助于对丛状神经纤维瘤的血管系统进行成像,这对恰当的手术规划至关重要。
