Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a dominant autosomal disturbance that presents multiple cutaneous lesions frequently in the range of 500 to 1000. In addiction of the psychological implications, the lesions constitute a difficult dilemma because there are only limited surgical options. The authors presents a sehe of 175 patients with numerous cutaneous lesions treated with a new approach using electrocautery excision. The technics turns out to be an effective way to ressect large number of lesions with less discomfort and more satisfaction to the patient.
