摘要：

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) affects cell growth in neural tissues, resulting in neurofibromas of the internal organs, peripheral nerves and/or autonomic nerves. We describe a highly unusual case of plexiform neurofibroma presenting with lacrimal gland enlargement in an 18 year old male, which led to a diagnosis of NF1.
