Core Tip

Core Tip: We report a familial case of slow-progressing neurofibromatosis type 1 with the presence of painless mass for 10 years and scoliosis. Histological evaluation of the mass revealed subepidermal pale blue mucoid degeneration and fibrous fusiform cells in the dermis in a fascicular, woven arrangement. Multiple operations were performed to remove the tumor.
