Abstract

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis 1 is a relatively common autosomal dominant disease characterized by the occurrence of distinctive skin pigmentation (café-au-lait spots and axillary/groin freckling) and multiple neuroectodermal and mesenchymal lesions (e.g. neurofibroma).  Patients with NF1 also have a predilection for other types of tumors, such as carcinoid tumors in the duodenum, particularly in the periampullary region.
