Résumé du livre
A Brief Summary of “Café-au-lait Macules (CALM)” and “Neurofibromatosis Type1.”
Cafe-au-lait macules (CALMs) are common pigmented lesions found in the general population.
They can be described as well-circumscribed, pigmented macules or patches ranging from light to dark brown.
Their size may range from a few millimeters to several centimetres (>20cm) and may appear at birth or early life.
Multiple CALMs are often associated with genetic syndromes for which the patient and family members need to be evaluated by an interprofessional team.
CALMs are mostly benign and are treated with laser therapy for cosmetic purposes.
It is strived in this E-Booklet to discuss the Aetiology, Diagnosis, Outlook, Evaluation and Treatment of cafe-au-lait macules along with relevant cited Images for better understanding.
