Overview
Neurofibroma usually occurs between 20-40 years of age, and affects men and women equally. However, plexiform neurofibromas are thought to be congenital defects, hence, they occur earlier in life.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Age
- Neurofibroma usually affects individuals between 20 and 40 years of age.
- Plexiform neurofibromas occur earlier in life and are thought to be congenital defects.[1]
Gender
- Neurofibroma affects men and women equally.
