The case is presented of a 65-year-old man with neurofibromatosis manifesting facial and skeletal features resembling those of the "elephant man" described by Sir Frederick Treves. Autopsy revealed not only a pheochromocytoma (a common accompaniment of neurofibromatosis), but an enlarged infarcted spleen and a subphrenic abscess. These findings have not been described previously in a patient with neurofibromatosis.
本文报告了一例65岁患有神经纤维瘤病的男性患者，其面部和骨骼特征与弗雷德里克·特里夫斯爵士所描述的“象人”相似。尸检不仅发现了嗜铬细胞瘤（神经纤维瘤病的常见伴随病症），还发现脾脏肿大并伴有梗死以及膈下脓肿。这些发现此前在神经纤维瘤病患者中尚未有过描述。
