Neurofibromas may present as dermal (cutaneous or subcutaneous) or plexiform (diffuse growths, spinal tumors, nodular or diffuse) tumors. They may present as isolated sporadic tumors in the general population or occur as a part of an autosomal dominant tumor diathesis in von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)
