Neurofibromatosis(von Recklinghausen’s disease) may involve the orbital region in a great diversity of clinical appearances. Its tumors may be diffuse or localized, multiple or solitary. They may represent changes ranging from plexiforme neuroma, ganglion neuroma, diffuse neurofibroma, optic nerve or retinal glioma, facial hemihypertrophy, up to molluscum fibrosum. However, all of these are believed to develop on the basis of a congenital anomaly, are associated with peripheral or cranial nerves and are derived from the cells of Schwann. The tumors of the brain, optic nerve and retina are an exception, Duke-Elder1 writes:“It is now generally accepted that neurofibroma represents a developmental defect of the neuroectodermal tissues which often is familial.” Usually pigment patches in the skin (cafC-aulait spots) are part of the disease. Neurofibromatosis may remain stationary through life or may show progressive growth. Development of fibrosarcoma from the mesodermal component of such tumors has been reported, but is exceptional. The true nature
