AB A  44-year-old  Hispanic  man  has  neurofibromatosis  type  1  (NF-1).  He  has  typical  features  of  NF-1,  including  eight  café-au-lait  spots,  axillary  freckling,  and  neurofibromas  all  over  his  body  (Figures  234-1,  234-2,  234-3,  and  234-4).  He  states  that  he  is  used  to  having  the  NF  and  it  does  not  currently  affect  his  work  or  life.  He  is  happily  married  but  never  had  children.  No  intervention  is  necessary  at  this  time  other  than  recommending  yearly  visits  to  his  family  physician  and  ophthalmologist.
