Milk café-au-lait spots in neurofibromatosis can be removed, but often have the potential to recur.
For neurofibromatosis milk coffee spots, which tend to be more numerous and extensive, surgical excision or laser irradiation is currently being considered as a treatment option.
Milk café-au-lait spots located on the surface of the body are larger in scope and number can be considered for surgical excision, and in some cases, multiple surgeries may be required for complete excision. For smaller milk spots on the face, laser treatment is often used to remove the milk spots in order to avoid the cosmetic effects of surgery.
Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disease, mainly caused by gene mutation and family history of neurofibromatosis. Although milk café-au-lait spots can be removed surgically or by laser, the possibility of recurrence cannot be ruled out.
It is recommended that patients with neurofibromatosis with milk coffee spots should go to the neurosurgery department of regular hospitals in time, and the doctor should decide the appropriate treatment according to the scope and number of milk coffee spots.
