“…Similarly, Shah et al, reported a misdiagnosed neurofibroma that presented as a vascular hamartoma after a traumatic iatrogenic intramuscular injection in the shoulder. However, trauma was not proven to be the etiological factor because the patient also had another neurofibroma in the flank [13].…”

Background: Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors that present as solitary or multiple lesions. They can present alone or as part of the disease process called neurofibromatosis type 1. The etiology behind solitary neurofibromas is still poorly understood, however, trauma has been proposed to be a possible cause. Methods: We present a rare case of a 23-year-old male, without any known medical history, who fell and injured his left foot 3 years prior to presentation. He was treated conservatively at that time and presented to Bahrain Defence Force hospital complaining of a progressive painless swelling in his left forefoot post trauma. Results: The patient underwent imaging studies, which misdiagnosed the lesion as a possible lymphangioma, haemangioma, or a chronic inflammatory swelling. An excisional biopsy was taken, and the pathology specimen proved the lesion to be a diffuse neurofibroma. Conclusion: Trauma may possibly be a predisposing factor behind the development of solitary diffuse neurofibromas in patients that are not known to have neurofibromatosis. Further studies should be conducted to prove whether or not trauma is a predisposing factor for the development of solitary neurofibromas.

“…The solitary neurofibromas that have been reported now mostly appear under the skin, in the bones and in the gastrointestinal tract ( 3 , 5 , 7 – 13 ). The number of reports of solitary neurofibromas that appeared in the pancreas is very limited ( Table 1 ).…”

Benign Pancreatic Neurofibroma with Malignant Imaging Features: A Case Report and Literature Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Pancreatic neurofibroma is a very rare benign neurogenic tumor unrelated to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). As the volume increases, it has the risk of malignant transformation. The surgical prognosis of pancreatic neurofibroma is good, but its preoperative imaging features are very similar to those of malignant tumors, which may affect the formulation of treatment plans. This article reports a case of giant neurofibroma of the pancreas with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as one of the diagnostic methods and discusses the tumor’s preoperative clinical features, laboratory examinations, and imaging features.
