café-au-lait spot
n.— «McCune-Albright syndrome can cause patches of darker skin coloring. These areas are called café-au-lait spots because, in children with light complexions, these spots are the color of coffee with milk. In darker skinned children, the spots can be harder to see.» —““The Tishonna Garnes story” part 1″ Brand Newz Mar. 31, 20008. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
