Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen disease is a neurocutaneous genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant transmission. Acute Lymphobalstic Leukamia (ALL) has been rarely seen to be associated with this disease. This case report is of a 15 year male who was diagnosed to have ALL with NF1. There was a history of NF1 with multiple neurofibroma in the mother. Currently on BFM-95 protocol based treatment, the patient is responding well to the therapy. KEYWORDS: Neurofibromatosis, acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen disease is a neurocutaneous genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant transmission.
