Neurofibromatosis is characterized by its skeletal involvement and cutaneous manifestation. Some patients develop focal area of hypoplasia and atrophy at limbs.

The patient received open reduction and internal fixation with a semitubular plate and biopsy was done in order to clarify the pathology. |
