Abstract
Central neurofibromatosis, or neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), is a genetic disorder marked by the predisposition to develop a variety of tumors of the central and peripheral nervous systems. In contrast to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), NF2 produces a paucity of cutaneous manifestations. A case report of neurofibromatosis type 2 is discussed here.
