Having six or more café au lait spots greater than 5 mm in diameter before puberty, or greater than 15 mm in diameter after puberty, is a diagnostic feature of neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), but other features are required to diagnose NF-1. [2] Familial multiple cafe-au-lait spots have been observed without an NF-1 diagnosis. [9] Noonan syndrome
Hyperpigmented skin lesions with characteristic features, including jagged "coast of Maine" borders and tendency occur along the midline of the body. These lesions are historically termed café au lait macules, however the term "cafe-au-lait" only describes their appearance on lighter-skinned individuals. [5]
Legius syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by cafe au lait spots. [3] It was first described in 2007 and is often mistaken for neurofibromatosis type I. It is caused by mutations in the SPRED1 gene. [5] [6] It is also known as neurofibromatosis type 1-like syndrome. [1]
Conditions associated with the development of café au lait macules Condition Ataxia–telangiectasia: Bloom syndrome: Fanconi anaemia: Gaucher's disease: Legius syndrome: Marfan syndrome: McCune–Albright syndrome: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1: Neurofibromatosis type 1: Neurofibromatosis type 1-like syndrome: Noonan syndrome: Peutz ...

It was first discovered when Riccardi et al. described multiple families with cafe-au-lait spots and no association for neurofibromatosis in 1980. [5]In 1993, Charrow et al. described five members from a four-generation family who had the characteristic tell-tale sign of neurofibromatosis, multiple cafe au lait spots; however, testing of the gene usually involved in neurofibromatosis revealed ...
Café au lait bowls in a style traditionally used in France. At home, café au lait can be prepared from dark coffee and heated milk; in cafés, it has been prepared on espresso machines from espresso and steamed milk ever since these machines became available in the 1940s—thus it merely refers to a "coffee and milk" mixture, depending on the location, not to a specific drink.
