Neurofibromatosis type 1 with localized unilateral hyperhidrosis: A rare association

Abstract

Unilateral hyperhidrosis is a rare entity with primary and secondary causes. So far in literature, the associations documented with this entity rarely include neurofibromatosis. This association, however has been reported previously and perhaps is a more frequent incidence than is being recognized. Here we report a case to emphasize this association.
