Paper frames method for counting skin neurofibromas. (A) Schematic image of paper frames attachment: An adhesive backing from paper frame was removed and it was placed on the individual’s abdomen with a bottom corner placed just left of the individual’s umbilicus, left thigh and back with the top corners put just under the individual’s scapula. If a large plexiform tumor existed on the left side of the abdomen or thigh, the opposite side would have chosen for paper frames attachment. (B) The paper frame in the back presenting skin neurofibromas marked by washable pen. (C) The process of skin neurofibromas counting using Paint® software (yellow points represent neurofibromas that had already been counted).
