Isolated Primary Neurofibroma of Small Intestine: Presenting as Acute Intestinal Obstruction

[摘要] Background: Neurofibromas of the small bowel are rare and usually are part of the involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1, von Recklinghausen’s disease). Solitary neurofibromas of the small bowel are extremely rare. Case Report: We describe a case of an isolated neurofibroma originating in small bowel of a patient who presented to us with recurrent sub-acute intestinal obstruction. Conclusion: Presentation of isolated neurofibroma of small intestine as acute obstruction is rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult.
