Abstract Legius syndrome is characterized by numerous café‐au‐lait macules and intertriginous freckling, but typically lacks the distinctive tumor manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1. We report two siblings with Legius syndrome and Lisch nodules illustrating the importance of eye surveillance in these patients.
