Popis:	Periorbital neurofibromas can occur either in isolation or in association with neurofibromatosis (NF). Neurofibromas in the periorbital region account for 0.5-2.4% of orbital tumours. Hypertrichosis overlying neurofibromas are rarely reported cases in literature. We report a case of localized hypertrichosis overlying neurofibroma in a 27 year old female with no other features of neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromas can occur as solitary lesions or in association with neurofibromatosis. Our patient had diffuse hypertrichosis on a hyperpigmented macule overlying and around the periorbital neurofibroma.
