Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Dermal neurofibroma typically arise in the teenage years and are often associated with the onset of puberty. They continue to increase in number and size throughout adulthood, although there are limits to how big they get.
- Plexiform neurofibromas occur earlier in life and are thought to be congenital defects.[1]
