Abstract
- Type 1 Neurofibromatosis(von Recklinghausen's disease) characterized by cafe-au-lait spot and multiple skin nodules, may involve any part of the body. The incidence of multiple spinal neurofibromas is about 15% of all spinal neurofibromas and the majority of them are located in cauda equina. However, thoracic spine is uncommon site of multiple spinal neurofibrmas in type 1 neurofibromatosis. The authors describe a case of bilateral large neurofibromas of the thoracic spine associated with type 1 neurofibromatosis in a 27-year-old man.
