title: Bilateral dermatomal neurofibromatosis.
abstract: Neurofibromatosis is a disease seen in several clinical forms. We describe an unusual case of neurofibromatosis involving a bilateral dermatomal area of the trunk. Family history was negative, and extensive evaluation for other signs of neurofibromatosis was unrevealing. The different forms of neurofibromatosis are briefly discussed with particular emphasis on the segmental type.
