Summary Neurofibromatosis type 1 ( NF 1) is a multisystem phakomatosis. The intrathoracic manifestations of NF 1 are protean. We describe a rare case of a plexiform neurofibroma infiltrating the mediastinum and lungs with multiple endobronchial neurofibromata. To our knowledge, a mediastinal plexiform neurofibroma extending into the lungs on CT has not been reported.
