Neurofibrosis or the Von Recklinghausen disease constitutes a genetically transmitted disease that appears in many parts of the body as well as many symptoms. It is inherited from the autosomatic dominant type (gene NFI on chromosome 17) and is characterized by brownish blemishes of the skin (cafe au lait), multiple neurofibromas (small dermal or subcutaneous lumps), symptoms of the peripheral and central nervous systems as well as disorders of the eyes, skeletal system, gastric system and vascular system (aneurysms of the aorta, carotid and renal arteries). We describe the case study of a 25 year old female, second pregnancy with known history of the above mentioned disease. She delivered on the 39th week of pregnancy (male neonate weighing 3000 gr.), with no problems. On the 22nd week of her pregnancy she presented with a large distension of the anterior surface of the neck in the area of the thyroid that gradually increased in size. Differential Diagnosis includes nodular goiter and neurofibroma. One month postpartum the morphoma was surgically. Neurofibrosis during pregnancy can cause many complications such as IUGR, hypertensive disease, spontaneous abortions, oligohydraminios and neurofibroma development. This case study is being discussed in international bibliography.
