Abstract

Café-au-lait macules are common pigmented lesions, either congenital or acquired
during the first years of life, and should not necessarily be regarded as
indicators of an underlying syndromic condition. Their main distinguishing
features from other hyperpigmented lesions are described, and all syndromic
disorders associated with the presence of café-au-lait macules are reviewed.
