Abstract
- Multiple cutaneous neurofibromas are the most common skin manifestation of Von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis(NF-1). CO2 laser surgery is a treatment modality for multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and a simple procedure that quickly removes the tumor with minimal postoperative discomfort and acceptable cosmetic results. But, hypertrophic and atrophic scars can result from treatment with CO2 laser surgery. We herein report a case of multiple cutaneous neurofibromas that developed hypertrophic scars postoperatively.
