Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of cutaneous neurofibromas, multiple cafd-au-lait spots and pigmented nodules of the iris known as Lisch nodules. In some cases, the diagnosis can be made at birth while in others the diagnosis is made later in life based on the appearance of additional criteria. We describe radiographic abnormalities of the mandible in a young adult male with NF1.
