NF type 1
Body covered with neurofibromas and they generally have café au lait spots
Can also have acoustic schwannomas (more often seen in type II), optic gliomas, fibrotic nodules in the iris of the eye (Lisch nodules), and meningiomas
This disease is 50% autosomal dominant and 50% new mutation
Should worry about malignant transformation of plexiform neurofibromas
NF type II – characterized by bilateral acoustic schwannomas and multiple meningiomas
