A 4-year-old boy who was treated at the Santa Clara Health Center in Koulikoro by the medical team of the European Union Training Mission Mali XIX for a facial tumor that developed left ocular proptosis, causing a significant facial asymmetry at the level of the left eye. Medical examination revealed light brown stains, axillary ephelid and Lisch nodules in both eyes. Because of the suspicion of neurofibromatosis type 1 and following civil-military cooperation procedures, he is transferred to Spain. Civil-military cooperation is essential in the new forms of conflict, where these relationships are a fundamental tool in the coordination of all operations in the area. At the Miguel Servet University Hospital, in association with the General Defense Hospital of Zaragoza, the earlier diagnosis is confirmed (left trigeminal plexiform neurofibroma) with a genetic study and complementary imaging tests. It is decided to start treatment with selumetinib.
