Abstract
Although patients with neurofibromatosis (NF) have an increased incidence of tumors, there is only one study that suggests that NF1 patients may have an increased risk for epithelial malignancies. We present a patient with known NF1 who had developed multiple epithelial tumors since early in his life. All but one of these tumors were morphologically most consistent with trichoepitheliomas. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for Patched 1 gene (PTCH)...
