Neurofibromatosis Type‐1 Lung Disease Complicated by Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis
Neurofibromatosis type-1 is a rare autosomal dominant disease, due to the loss of the NF1 tumour suppressor gene. Here we present a case of a 28-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type-1 lung disease and pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis leading to recurrent pneumothoraxes requiring intervention.
