People with neurofibromatosis are at least 5 years old with more than 6 light brown spots (cafe-au-lait spots) larger than 1.5 centimeters. They also have axillary freckles "Crowe's sign" and brown or skin colored nodules (neurofibromas) that are raised above a narrow stock (pedunculated). Networks of nerve-cell tumors that are droopy, soft, doughy masses (plexiform neuromas) are also common. This is a picture of a giant cafe-au-lait spot on a person with neurofibromatosis.
