For many years the disease was looked upon as a disorder of the peripheral nerves alone, especially of the cutaneous filaments. Multiple soft nodules of the skin (molluscum fibrosum) and the subcutaneous neurofibromata so frequently associated with them were considered the main attributes of the clinical condition. By 1901 Adrian had collected 407 cases, in many of which pigmentary changes had either anteceded or were coexistent with the formation of neurofibromata. The recognition of allied...Bibliography ADRIAN C: Über Neurofibromatose und ihre Komplikationen, Beitr. z. klin. Chir., 1901, xxxi, 1.
