Abstract
A 16-year-old girl had a three-year history of many cafe au lait spots and freckles in a dermatomal distribution. The diagnosis of segmental neurofibromatosis (NF-5) was made on the basis of the clinical featur es, distribution of the lesions, and absence of systemic involvement. Only a few cases in the literature describe NF-5 with only macular les ions. An accurate clinical examination is important to identity this u nusual presentation.
