Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 or Von Recklinghausen disease is an autosomal dominant condition, manifested by overgrowth of nervous tissue and skin discoloration. Becker’s nevus is a benign cutaneous hemartomatous disorder. Shagreen patch is a connective tissue nevus seen in 20-50% cases of tuberous sclerosis. However, the association between becker’s nevus with neurofibromatosis is rare and a very few cases have been reported in literature. Its association with shagreen patch has not been reported yet. We are reporting a case in which father is having shagreen patch along with neurofibromatosis whereas son is having large becker’s nevus with neurofibromatosis. This unique association in two successive generation has never been reported before in literature.
