Massive, Spontaneous, Subcutaneous Hematoma Associated With Neurofibromatosis in the Lower Back

The purpose of this study is to report a case of massive, spontaneous, subcutaneous hematoma in a neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patient. NF is rarely associated with spontaneous hemorrhage. Massive, spontaneous, subcutaneous hemorrhage in the lower back is also rare. Patients with NF1 should understand the potential complications of their disease and surgeons and physicians should be prepared to promptly manage such complications in these patients.
