Segmental Neurofibromatosis (formerly NF5)

Extremely rare, prevalence less than 0,001%
 
Etiology
  • Postzygotic somatic mutation
 
Clinical presentation
  • Neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots and sometimes lentigenes on a single body segment or even one side of the body or more rarely on several bilateral segments or Lisch nodules
 
Rule out neurofibromatosis 1 or 2
 
Genetic counceling
  • Few exceptional cases of NF1 inherited from parents with a segmental form
