Abstract

We report a case of clitoral and renovascular involvement of neurofibromatosis resulting in an enlarged phallus with juvenile hypertension. The patient was successfully treated by removal of the clitoral tumor and nephrectomy. This is the first of 15 reported cases with clitoral involvement, that showed concurrent renovascular hypertension.
