	Cafe au lait for one, please. - BrainTalk Communities - Neurology Support Groups
		Caf�-au-lait spots, the most common sign of NF, are the flat, pigmented spots on the skin, which are called by the French term for coffee (caf�) with milk (lait) because of their light tan color.
		My son has 2 cafe au lait spots and other skin manefestations of TS.
		I know that atleast FIVE cafe au lait spots are required on an infant and atleast SIX such cafe au lait spots are required on an adult for a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis 1, but is there any medical significance to having only ONE cafe au lait spot?

	eMedicine - McCune-Albright Syndrome : Article by Gabriel I Uwaifo, MBBS
		Cafe au lait spot: This is a fairly large irregular-edged ("coast-of-Maine" variety) lesion.
		Background: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is defined as the association of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) (see Image 1), precocious puberty, caf� au lait spots, and other endocrinopathies due to hyperactivity of various endocrine glands.
		These are fairly prominent and have irregular edges, giving an appearance called the "coast-of-Maine" variants (as distinguished from the smaller rounded smooth-edged "coast-of-California" caf� au lait spots associated with neurofibromatosis type-1 [NF-1]).

	Caf�-au-lait spots and Neurofibromatosis - DrGreene.com
		Thus, any child with six or more caf�-au-lait spots that are more than 5 mm in diameter should be monitored and treated as having NF.
		Each spot of significant size after the first three, though, is increasingly uncommon and increasingly likely to be associated with NF or with one of the other neurocutaneous syndromes.
		The spots can increase in size, number, and darkness throughout childhood.
