Abstract
Neurofi bromatosis I (NF I), an autosomal dominant disorder is associated
with increased risk of benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors
and central nervous system tumors. There are only few case reports of breast
carcinoma in known patients of NF I. We report a case of basal like carcinoma of
the breast in a 69-year-old lady who had NF I. Considering the rare association
of carcinomas with NF I and fi nding that both the NF I gene and a breast cancer
pre-disposition gene, BRCA 1 are located in close proximity on chromosome
17q makes the association of these two conditions intriguing.
