General and systemic examinations were normal. Dermatological examination revealed a single tender, well-defined, pearly white to erythematous, dome-shaped nodule of approximately 6mm x 5mm x 5mm with central umbilication and surrounding erythema.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a genetic disorder commonly characterized by café-au-lait macules, neurofibromas and axillary freckling. We present the case of a 20-year-old female who had bilateral neck swellings, and these swellings were misdiagnosed as cervical lymphadenopathy, and the patient was started on anti-tubercular therapy (ATT), but the swellings didn't show any improvement despite 6 months of ATT.
