“…and after an operation for benign neurofibromas 4 . Neurofibromas of the genito-urinary tract most commonly affect males than females by a ratio of 3:1, and commonly affect the bladder, but there are also reports of neurofibromas involving the penis, clitoris, prostate, urethra, testis, spermatic cord and ureter 3 . The patient should be always worked-up to rule out other manifestations of NF-1 disease and followed to evaluate the development of new lesions.…”

Neurofibromas of the urinary bladder are an exceedingly rare entity and are considered mostly in conjunction with the disease of neurofibromatosis type 1. The fortuitous discovery of vesical plexiform neurofibromas without other stigmata of the disease is presented in a 57-year-old male patient. The course of his condition, modalities of investigation and a non-precedent treatment plan are demonstrated.

“…The bladder is the commonest affected organ in the urinary tract, either as an isolated mass or a diffuse infiltrative process as in the cases described in this report. In 1878 Gerhardt [8] first described urinary tract involvement with a case of neurofibromatosis in the bladder and spinal cord and more than a century later a total of 75 cases have been reported of which less than a third are paediatric [9]. So far only four cases of malignant transformation of neurofibromatosis of the bladder have been reported [10-12].…”

BackgroundPelvic floor hernias pose a diagnostic and a treatment challange. Neurofibromatosis is a rare systemic disease, and urinary tract involvement is rare.Case presentationHere we report a case of a 54-year-old female with multiple neurofibromatosis who presented with features of obstructed defecation and was found to have a large perineal hernia. At surgery, we found an unusual herniation of a large neuropathic bladder and rectum through a perineal defect. She underwent reduction cystoplasty and repair of the pelvic floor using a prolene mesh. Subsequent histopathological examination confirmed a large neurofibroma infiltrating the urinary bladder.ConclusionNeurofibromatosis of the bladder is rare it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with symptoms of obstructed defecation.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant transmitted disease with various clinical manifestations. The bladder is the most commonly affected organ in the genitourinary system. The malignant transformation of the disease is rare, and unlike malign tumors, the treatment option for benign disease is usually conservative. The size and localization of the mass determine the symptoms, most of which are usually not specific. In this paper, we aim to present a 15-year-old patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 with bladder involvement. The clinical presentation and treatment options of this disease are discussed in the light of the literature.
