The levels of vitamin D did not differ according to gender, age group, or the presence or number of cutaneous neurofibromas. Among patients with adequate sun exposure, there was a higher incidence of sufficient serum vitamin D levels. Patients with cutaneous neurofibromas in the 0 to 11 age group had a greater tendency to vitamin D sufficiency in relation to patients aged 11 to 19 years.
