ABSTRACT
The term inhalational lung disease comprises a group of entities that develop secondary to the active aspiration of particles. Most are occupational lung diseases. Inhalational lung diseases are classified as occupational diseases (pneumoconiosis, chemical pneumonitis), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and electronic-cigarette-associated lung diseases. The radiologic findings often consist of nonspecific interstitial patterns that can be difficult to interpret. Therefore, radiologists' experience and multidisciplinary teamwork are key to ensure correct evaluation. The role of the radiologist is fundamental in preventive measures as well as in diagnosis and management, having an important impact on patients' overall health. It is crucial to take into account patients' possible exposure to particles both at work and at home.

El neurofibroma plexiforme es un tumor de los troncos nerviosos y sus ramas que se considera virtualmente diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen. Presentamos un caso de neurofibroma plexiforme con afectación de íleon y mesenterio en un paciente con neurofibromatosis tipo 1. El interés del caso radica, tanto en la rareza de la afectación intestinal por el neurofibroma, como en su forma de presentación como cuadro intestinal sintomático que precisó cirugía(AU)
Plexiform neurofibroma is a tumor of the nerve trunks and their branches; it is considered virtually pathognomic of neurofibromatosis type 1. We present the case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 and a plexiform neurofibroma involving the ileum and mesentery. This case is interesting because intestinal involvement by neurofibroma is rare and because the patient presented with symptomatic intestinal involvement that required surgery(AU)
