Neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen disease usually is a readily diagnosed entity, characterized by typical cutaneous lesions and a strong family history. In a variant of the usual disease, peripheral neurofibromatosis, these stigmata may be absent and accurate diagnosis may be elusive. We present a patient without diagnostic cutaneous lesions in whom the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis was initially suggested by computed tomography because of numerous masses in the distribution of peripheral nerves.
神经纤维瘤病或冯·雷克林霍增氏病通常是一种易于诊断的疾病,其特征为典型的皮肤损害和家族史强烈。在常见疾病的一种变异型——外周神经纤维瘤病中,这些体征可能不存在,准确诊断可能难以捉摸。我们报告了一名患者,其没有诊断性皮肤损害,因外周神经分布区域有大量肿块,最初通过计算机断层扫描提示神经纤维瘤病的诊断。
