  • Title: Colonic obstruction in a child with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.
    Author: Stone MM, Weinberg B, Beck AR, Grishman E, Gertner M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1986 Aug; 21(8):741-3. PubMed ID: 3091806.
    Abstract:
    A child is reported who developed partial colonic obstruction from an intussuscepting polypoid mass in the transverse colon. A 5 cm plexiform ganglioneurofibroma was found at laparotomy. Examination of the entire gastrointestinal tract revealed no other neurogenic tumors. Gastrointestinal involvement by neurofibromatosis in children is rare; however, children with von Recklinghausen's disease who complain of vague abdominal symptoms should be evaluated for gastrointestinal tumors.
