A case report is given of a pair of monozygotic twin girls with neurofibromatosis caused by a new mutation. The symptomatology was dominated by a neurofibrosarcoma on the leg of one twin and by a large plexiform neurofibroma on the neck of the other twin. Otherwise, the disease showed similar, although not identical or mirror-image distribution of subcutaneous neurofibromas and café-au-lait spots. The twins had identical HLA and blood group antigens and the same chromosome aberration. These case reports indicate that nonhereditary factors may influence the manifestations of neurofibromatosis. A review of the literature on monozygotic twins with neurofibromatosis is given.
