AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Cutaneous lesions from three patients with segmental neurofibromatosis were evaluated. Routine histologic studies revealed the presence of redimentary neural structures within an abundant collagenous matrix. The majority of the cells in all three cases expressed S-100 protein, suggesting their identity as Schwann cells. The stromal component stained positively for fibronectin and type IV collagen; the latter indicated the presence of basement membrane material. Embedded in the tumor mass were glandular epithelial structures that stained with epithelial membrane antigen antibody. Staining for factor VIII-related antigen revealed vascular endothelium and multiple scattered mast cells. In one case strands of cells stained with antibodies to desmin, suggesting muscle cell differentiation. This case may represent a distinct subset of neurofibromas.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is an inherited neuroectodermal abnormality that primarily affects the growth of neural tissues, and Riccardi classified it into eight types. Segmental neurofibromatosis, which is a rare form of neurofibromatosis, is classified as type 5. We report a case for very unusual presentation of segmental NF with unilateral lisch nodules and uncommon sites involving the scalp.

Segmental pigmentation anomalies can be further divided into segmental pigmentation disorder (SPD) complex and café-au-lait macules (CALMs). Both are congenital skin conditions characterized by hyper- or hypopigmentation. Segmental pigmentation disorder is a rare entity, whereas CALMs are common skin lesions that may be associated with various genetic conditions, especially when several are present and the patient has other indicators of a genetic abnormality.

Rationale: Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is one of the most prevalent genetic conditions. NF1 is characterized by cutaneous plexiform neurofibromas and café au lait skin pigmentation, and is inherited in an autosomal dominant trait with mutation in the neurofibromin 1 gene on chromosome 17. Neurofibromin is involved in Ras proto-oncogene regulation.
