Abstract
- Neurofibroma is a benign tumor characterized by diffuse proliferation of the peripheral nerve elements. It mostly occurrs in the retroperitoneal region. Although neurofibroma may occurr as a solitary lesion, its common manifestation is in the syndrome of neurofibromatosis with a variable clinical course. Neurofibroma is a slowly growing neoplasm that presents symptoms only after a period of several years. Complete surgical removal is the treatment of choice, however this can be occasionally dangerous because of their tendency to adhere to adjacent structures. Herein we report a case of neurofibroma causing duodenal obstruction.
