When I was 6 years old I was sent to the genetics deapartment at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin because my regular doctor discovered some cafe au lait spots on me.
After being evaluted by a gentisits, nurologist, speech pathologist etc. They determined I had NF based on the cafe au lait spots, freckling in my groin, short stature large head size despite normal brain anatomy and above normal intelligence, speech problems and delayed motor skills.
Since then I have not developed any other symptoms (I am now 20). I do not have any orthopedic signs of the disease, no lisch nodules, no relaitves with NF, no neurofibromas etc.
However I do have giant cell like tumors in my femur and tibia and in my upper and lower jaw as well as cysts in my mouth.
I believe they are all confined to the left side of my body. To me this sounds like fibrous dysplaisa, cherubism, or McCune Albright. But my cafe au lait spots and freckling are on both sides and extend below my trunk. They are also the coast of california type.
I know the above is outside your field of study.
I am also wondering if my cafe au lait spots and crowe's sign are idiopathic in nature as I am fair skined and have a lot of other skin markings. My mother also has two cafe au lait spots
Also the doctor who orignally sent me for testing has since doubted that I have NF.
My questions are:
1. Does it sound like I have NF?
2. Could the bone tumors indicate something else?
3. What would your DDX be based on my description?
Thank you for your time.
