On physical examination numerous coffee-and-milk spots spread throughout the body and lid exophytic tumor of the right side were found, and in the specialized ophthalmologic testing: Lisch nodules. Cranial computerized axial tomography revealed a right intraocular tumor process and right palpebral tumor infiltrating oculomotor muscles: inferior oblique and right external. It was concluded that the patient presented with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.
