Neurofibroma erotica in a young male

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most common phakomatoses and is inherited as an autosomal-dominant disorder. The characteristic feature of the disease is the presence of multiple cutaneous neurofibromas over the trunk and limbs. Penile neurofibromas are extremely rare and simultaneous occurrence of neurofibromas in the breasts has not been reported previously. We recently encountered a young male patient with an unusual combination of penile, bilateral breast, and multiple intraosseous neurofibromas. We report the case for its uncommon occurrence and to highlight the restricted distribution of the neurofibromas in erotic organs such as the breasts and penis.
