Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant nevus disease characterized by multiple manifestations, primarily café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas. Here, we present the case of an NF1 patient with 47,XYY mosaicism whose diagnosis was prompted by café-au-lait macules on the skin and mandibular neurofibromas. Targeted next-generation sequencing of the patient’s blood sample revealed a novel frameshift mutation in NF1 (NM_000267.3:c.6832dupA:p.Thr2278Asnfs*8) that is considered a pathogenic variant.
