Abstract
- Neurofibromatosis originally described by von-Recklinhausen in 1882, is often depicted as a chronic progressive hereditary disease characterized by pigmentation of the skin, cutaneus lesions, and numerous tumors developing in association with elements of both the central and peripheral nervous tissue. Mesenteric involvements in neurofibromatosis are very rare in childrens. We experienced a case of neurofibromatosis with multiple neurofibromas on mesentery in 6 years old male who presented with abdominal pain. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical manifestations, abdominal CT, and histopathologic findings. Brief review of literatures was made.
