Skin

Subcutaneous Nodule
He had facial asymmetry, multiple cutaneous café-au-lait spots and a subcutaneous nodule, biopsy of which showed features consistent with neurofibromatosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cafe-Au-Lait Spots
The most common features of the disease include multiple neural tumors (neurofibromas) on the skin or within the body, pigmented skin lesions (ie. cafe au lait spots), and Lisch nodules (pigmented iris hamartomas). [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
Eyes

Red Eye
The patient had experienced a red eye 2 weeks prior to admission, and a diagnosis of episcleritis had been made and treatment initiated with flumethalone eyedrops. [nature.com]
Red eye - conjunctival injection increases with the exophthalmos. In severe cases, there may be a secondary exposure keratopathy as a result of incomplete lid closure over the cornea. [patient.info]

Workup
The phase of the disease will then ultimately determine the indicated workup and treatment. Differential Diagnosis Depending on the presenting symptoms, further workup can be necessary to rule out other possible diagnoses. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
