Abstract
Reported is the case of a 36-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 with lethal haemorrhage from rupture of the left common iliac artery . Histologically and immunohistochemically, no hints on angiodysplasia as a possible cause of bleeding were detected. Considering the litera ture and the histological findings in the area of rupture, a local wea kness of the vascular wall caused by the neighbouring neurofibromatous proliferates was most probably the reason for bleeding.
