Sporadic Neurofibroma in an Uncommon Site
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Neurofibromas are benign tumours of the peripheral nerves. They can be solitary or multiple. Multiple neurofibromas are seen as a part of von Recklinghausen’s disease where they are evenly distributed over the body surface. However solitary neurofibroma is not associated with von Recklinghausen’s disease and is commonly seen in young adults 1 . Neurofibromas exhibit a predilection for the head and trunk compared to other parts of the body 2 . We report a case of sporadic neurofibroma in a rare site – the popliteal fossa.
