Summary
In a medical society awareness dermal cafè-au-lait spots (CALs) are commonly bound to neurofibromatoses (NF). Besides the prevalence of NF-1, reaching 1:2.5-3 thousands live births which placed the disease in a group of the most frequent monogenic traits of mankind, it is still only one among more than 80 clinical entities, where CALs are fundamental and diagnostic or insignificant and associated only symptom of the diseases.
