A 14-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with two ill-demarcated, grayish-white, and atrophic patches on his left back, which were confirmed as neurofibroma by histopathologic examinations. This clinical presentation of neurofibroma has rarely been reported in patients with neurofibromatosis.
