  • Title: Isolated giant ileal neurofibroma sans neurofibromatosis.
    Author: Kundu R, Gupta S, Kaushik R, Punia RS, Kaur R.
    Journal: Indian J Cancer; 2018; 55(3):301-303. PubMed ID: 30693899.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromas are benign neoplasms that are usually seen in hereditary disorders such as von Recklinghausen's disease [neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)]. The occurrence of isolated ileal neurofibroma in patients without the classic manifestations of NF1 or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes is an extremely rare entity . We report one such case of isolated ileal neurofibroma in a 60 year old woman without any other stigmata of NF. It may be the initial manifestation of NF1 or MEN 2b or malignant transformation, all of which necessitate further follow-up of these patients.
