The article is devoted to the most common hereditary disease predisposing to the occurrence of tumors in humans – neurofibromatosis type 1, belonging to the group of phacomatosis. Patient observations were carried out at the hospital bases of three centers in the departments of maxillofacial surgery and neurosurgery. Neurofibromatosis is a group of systemic hereditary diseases characterized by developmental defects of ecto-mesodermal structures, mainly of the skin, nervous and bone systems. The disease has many concomitant factors that often make diagnosis more difficult.
