Abstract:
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of neural crestderived cells that predominantly affect growth and development of neural tissues. We report a case of 64 year old patient, had several soft tissue cutaneous nodules (neurofibroma) on the body including the face, head, and neck, extremities and multiple hyperpigmented macules on trunk and back (Caféaulait pigmentation), who was accidentally diagnosed as chronic myeloid leukemia, on routine investigation for surgical management. He did not have any systemic manifestation either of diseases.
