Abstract
A case of segmental neurofibromatosis of the upper extremity is presented. Multiple neurofibromas involving different peripheral nerves limited to a single body part or limb is a rare form of neurofibromatosis. The clinical, genetic, and histologic findings of segmental neurofibromatosis are described. The criteria for segmental neurofibromatosis are reviewed, and the differentiation of neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2 and schwannomatosis is also briefly reviewed.
