Two major forms: (1) classic von Recklinghausen’s (NF1) (2) central, or acoustic (NF2). Both types have café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas, but only NF2 has bilateral acoustic neuromas. An important diagnostic sign present only in NF1 is pigmented hamartomas of the iris (Lisch nodules). “Buttonhole sign”—invagination with the tip of the index finger is pathognomonic.
Definition

Term
:yellow-brown, pinkish, or orange macules, papules, plaques, nodules, or infiltrations in tendons. What is it called if it is localized to the eyelids?
