Neurofibromatosis is not a type of inherited brain tumor. It?s hereditary condition commonly associated with multiple caf?-au-lait spots on the skin. Yes, it can include brain tumors.. There are a few disorders and diseases that are inherited that are associated with brain tumors, but they would be diagnosed shortly after birth. Other than that, no, brain tumors nor brain cancers are hereditary.
