ABSTRACT
Background:
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is a neurocutaneous disorder, primarily affecting the skin and nervous system. Concomitant multi-system involvement is also seen. Orthopedic manifestations of NF-1 are one area that is understudied and underreported, highlighting the importance of this case report. Case Report A 16-year-old male presented with painless swelling on the posteromedial aspect of the lower right tibia, which was confirmed to be a dysplastic mass on biopsy. Physical examination also revealed cafe au lait macules and axillary freckling, leading to a diagnosis of NF-1.Discussion:
Bony lesions in NF-1 patients mainly include the spine and tibia. Congenital tibial dysplasia is commonly associated with NF-1 and may progress to pseudoarthrosis if early management is not started. Treatment modalities include excision, bracing, and fixation.Conclusion:
Further research is required to have a more comprehensive view of NF-1 and orthopedics, to diagnose and manage such bony complications.
