    Correct answer:

    Neurofibromatosis (type 2).

    It's also known as MISME-syndrome; Multiple Inherited Schwannomas, Meningeomas and Ependymomas. In this case, the patient is covered in neurofibromas in the skin. It's a genetic (autosomal dominant) disease, caused by mutations in the Merlin-gene.
