The development of Lisch nodules in an eye that had undergone trabeculectomy with mitomycin C is described. Complete ophthalmologic examinations and genetic testing of a 12-year-old boy were performed. Lisch nodules can develop after trabeculectomy without the systemic manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a complex neurocutaneous disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the gene. Although genotype-phenotype correlation studies are increasing, robust clinically relevant correlations have remained limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data obtained from a cohort of 204 Hungarian individuals, with a mean age of 16 years (age range: 1-33 years).

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic multisystem phakomatosis that can affect the skin, bones, and nervous system. NF1 typically presents with skin lesions, including freckles, café-au-lait macules, plexiform neurofibromas, and bony dysplasia, and is usually accompanied by a family history of the disorder. Ocular manifestations vary, but iris Lisch nodules and optic nerve gliomas are the most common features.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder predisposing to numerous tumors. Sporadic mutations account for half of the cases. They can occur on a mosaic pattern, which might remain undiagnosed, depending on the clinical phenotype.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNeurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common genetic conditions. It can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, but almost half of cases occur de novo. NF1 is associated with café-au-lait macules, freckles in the inguinal and axillary region, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules of the iris or choroidal abnormalities, optic pathway gliomas, and distinctive bone anomalies.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations of the NF1 tumor suppressor gene, characterized by café-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, and Lisch nodules. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an extremely rare malignancy with neural differentiation potential. The lifetime risk of developing MPNST in NF-1 patients is 8%-13%.
