Hypoplagia of Right Clavicle Associated with Neurofibromatosis (A Case Report)

1998 
Neurofibromatosis is characterized by its skeletal involvement and cutaneous manifestation. Some patients develop focal area of hypoplasia and atrophy at limbs. We present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a fracture of the hypoplastic clavicle associated with neurofibromatosis and brownish cutaneous macules. The patient received open reduction and internal fixation with a semitubular plate and biopsy was done in order to clarify the pathology.
