General Discussion
Neurofibromatosis kind 1 (NF1), likewise called von Recklinghausen’s condition, is an unusual congenital disease identified by the growth of numerous noncancerous (benign) lumps of nerves as well as skin (neurofibromas) as well as locations of uncommonly lowered or enhanced pigmentation (hypo- or hyperpigmentation) of the skin.
