ABSTRACT
The term, bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis had been used to refer to patients who had unilateral neurofibromas with contralateral pigmented lesions or bilateral neurofibromas. Partial unilateral lentiginosis is characterized by numerous lentigines localized to a body segment. The coexistence of bilateral neurofibromas and partial unilateral lentiginosis raises the possibility that partial unilateral lentiginosis could be a variant of segmental neurofibromatosis. Nevus of Ota arise from dermal melanocytes and it can be associated with neurofibromatosis. A 60-year-old man presented with bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis with partial unilateral lentiginosis on the right arm and right leg, nevus of Ota on right forehead, and one cafe-au-lait spot on the abdomen.
