The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.Orpha Number: 2678Disease definitionNeurofibromatosis type 6 (NF6), also referred as café-au-lait spots syndrome, is a cutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of several café-au-lait (CAL) macules without any other manifestations of neurofibromatosis or any other systemic disorder.EpidemiologyPrevalence is unknown, but the disease appears to be extremely rare.Clinical descriptionThe macules may appear in infancy, but usually they are detected after 2 years of age. CAL lesions are hyperpigmented with smooth or irregular borders. Their size may vary from a few millimeters to more than 10 cm.EtiologyThe etiology of NF6 remains unknown. Close linkage to the NF1 gene (17q11.2) has been reported in some cases.Diagnostic methodsThe diagnosis is based on the presence of six or more CAL macules.Differential diagnosisDifferential diagnoses include neurofibromatosis type 1, McCune-Albright syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis (see these terms).Genetic counselingTransmission is autosomal dominant.Management and treatmentIsolated CAL lesions do not require medical care.PrognosisCAL spots are benign and may resolve with age.Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.
