Abstract
Background: A 39-year-old man presented with nonspecific abdominal pain. He was known with neurofibromatosis type I, with history of café-au-lait spots, multiple cutaneous neurofibromas and osteoporosis. Findings on contrast-enhanced CT scan were rather nonspecific, but inflammatory small bowel disease was suspected.
