Abstract
Neurofibroma is common benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It may occur anywhere in the body. Including skin and soft tissue, nervous system muscle and skeleton and visceral organ. Solitary neurofibroma is rare in the giant type. We are presenting a rare case of solitary giant gluteal neurofibroma, which was first confirmed with true cut biopsy which was completely excised afterwards and histopathological confirmation was performed. This case had no generalised neurofibromatosis. Presentation, diagnostic features, imaging and treatment are represented here.
