A member asked:
Was wondering what illess would cause your body to be literally covered in small tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type...: There are some medical conditions in which patients can develop small tumors covering areas of their bodies. An example of one of these is called neurofibromatosis. In this condition (which is often an inherited / genetic disease), patients can develop innumerable nerve tumors all over their bodies. This disease can become disfiguring over time.
