Sir, Legius syndrome, also known as neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1‐like syndrome, is a rare, genetic skin pigmentation disorder characterized by multiple café au lait macules (CALMs) with or without axillary or inguinal freckling. Other NF1‐associated features such as Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, NF1‐specific bone lesions, optic pathway gliomas, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are absent. Herein, we describe a case of a 16‐year‐old male presenting with multiple CALMs and axillary freckling.
