ABSTRACT

Neurofibromas are benign tumors of the nervous system that can be solitary or multiple, the neurofibromatosis or Recklinghausen's disease. In general, these tumors are soft, non-encapsulated, more frequent in soft parts of the body and infrequent in the digestive system. The objective of the present paper was to present a female patient with mesenteric neurofibroma and without Von Recklinghausen disease. Here is a 41 years-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital because she suffered abdominal pain and a palpable tumor at the region between left flank and hypochondrium. The imaging studies revealed a mesenteric cyst, which was confirmed in surgery. The tumor was classified as a benign cyst neurofibroma by pathological anatomy and finally removed. The mesenteric neurofibroma is a tumor that can be found in patients without Von Recklinghausen disease.
