RESUMO
Multiple Neurofibromatosis [NF] is a disease of great interest because of the familial nature of the disease, the complexity of its morphology, the progressive character of its course and the numerous complications that may develop during its evolution. The authors present a late presentation of a genital NF type 1 affecting the penis and the right lower limb of a young adult
RESUMO
Thumb hypoplasia and aplasia are disabling congenital deformities and in the more severe cases [Grades IV and V] the only possibility is pollicisation Some Grade III hypoplasia cases are more severe with absence of the trapezio-metacarpal joint and most of the first metacarpal. These cases are best treated by amputation and pollicisation. The authors describe in detail pollicisation of the index and its pitfalls

We report a case referred for plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons
