Abstract:
:Neurofibromas of the large bowel are very rare and usually are part of the colonic involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1, von Recklinghausen's disease). Solitary neurofibromas of the colon are extremely rare. We describe a case of an isolated neurofibroma that was found in the large bowel of a patient who suffered from segmental colitis and presented with bloody diarrhea. A review of the literature is also included, concerning the disclosure of isolated neurofibromas in the gut and other body parts and the type of gastrointestinal involvement in von Recklinghausen's disease.
