Abstract
Café-au-lait spots are very common in the general population. An underlying genetic disorder should only be sought when such spots are multiple. However, in the case of McCune-Albright syndrome, it is the irregular borders and the Blaschko-linear arrangement of the spots in broad irregular bands that are pathognomonic, reflecting as they do the genetic mosaicism characteristic of this disease.
