A 59-year-old man presented for evaluation and excision of non-tender, fleshy nodules that were arranged in a dermatomal distribution from the left side of the chest to the left axilla. A biopsy specimen of a nodule was consistent with a neurofibroma. Owing to the lack of other cutaneous findings, the lack of a family history of neurofibromatosis, and the dermatomal distribution of the neurofibromas, this patient met the criteria for a diagnosis of segmental neurofibromatosis (SNF) according to Riccardi's definition of SNF and classification of neurofibromatosis. Because the patient has no complications of neurofibromatosis 1 no medical treatment is required.

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.
