ABSTRACT
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease diagnosed with the presentation of café-au-lait macules, skinfold freckling, iris Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, osseous lesion, and optic gliomas. Mediastinal mass as the first presentation of NF1 is very rare, with a frequency of about 2.7%. Here, we present a rare case of NF1 in a 3-year-old boy admitted with respiratory distress and superior vena cava syndrome.
