Hypomelanotic melanoma detected by the “little red riding hood sign” in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder commonly associated with an increased risk for development of malignancy, including skin cancers. Herein we describe a case of invasive melanoma occurring in a patient with NF1 and discuss the association between these two diseases, highlighting...
