Café au lait spots

Café au lait spots are often harmless but may be associated with syndromes such as –

• Neurofibromatosis type 1
• McCune–Albright syndrome

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 –

• Café au lait lesions tend to resemble the “coast of California,” rather than the “coast of Maine,”
• Meaning the edges are smoother and more linear.
