Subcutaneous neurofibromas those that develop beneath the skin or those that develop deeper in the body such as the abdomen chest and spine.

A neurofibroma can develop in people who have no known cause or who have the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1. Typically the symptoms associated with a neurofibroma may be very mild or non existent. However, if the tumour presses against or grows within nerves the affected area may experience pain or numbness.

Treatment is usually not required for single tumours that do not cause symptoms. However, if the tumour is causing symptoms.
