Neurofibromatosis type 1 or Von Recklinghausen disease (NF1) is one of the most common hereditary genetic disorders in human. We present the case of a 59 year female patient, affected by neurofibromatosis type 1. She has a history of supracondylar amputation of the lower left limb at age 19 due to elephantiasis, which caused her total limb deformity. She comes for presenting deformity of her stump that prevents her from putting on the prosthesis to walk. Complementary procedures were performed and the stent plasty was performed with favorable evolution. This case is presented by the interest that arises from its singularity in the specialty of Angiology at "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" Central Military Hospital, where the surgical intervention was necessary resulting favorably in the patient's rehabilitation.

Keywords : Neurofibromatosis; redundant stump; plasty of the stump; background.
