Abstract

In 1882, von Recklinghausen gave the definitive account of the clinical and pathologic features of this disease [1]. Neurofibromatosis is a polysymptomatic hereditary neuroectodermal systemic disease. Nearly 50% occurred as a spontaneous mutation and the inheritance is autosomal dominant [2]. In the past decades the entity of neurofibromatosis was divided into eight different clinical disorders with somewhat overlapping features (Table 1) [3,4,5].
