Abstract
We report the case of a 6-year-old boy who showed a large epidermal nevus m ixed with a plexiform neurofibroma, which was associated with "cafe au lait " macules and a nephroblastoma. This association could riot be classified i n one of the five well defined epidermal nevus syndrome. To our knowledge t his is the first tints that this type of epidermal nevus syndrome has been described, which raises the question of the relationship between neurofibro matosis 1, nephroblastoma and epidermal nevus.
