Monitor complication: This is a inherited condition of the nervous system causing tumors (overgrowth) of cells of the nervous system. These may be peripheral, causing swellings under the skin, or closer to the central nervous system. Overgrowth can cause problems depending on the location of the tumors. Usually these growths are benign, but some can turn cancerous. Treatment is monitoring and removal of complications.
