A RARE CASE OF PRIMARY SOLITARY NEUROFIBROMA OF PENIS

Abstract

Abstract : Neurofibroma is a benign nerve sheath tumor of
the peripheral nervous system. It can occur either as a
sporadic form or it is inherited in an autosomal dominant
fashion. In its generalized and inherited form, it is known as
Von-Recklinghausens disease of the nerve. Neurofibroma of
the penis occurs in association with neurofibromatosis type 1.
Primary isolated solitary neurofibroma of the penis is
extremely rare and only 22 cases have been documented in
published literature. Here we present a case of a 12 year old
male child presenting with primary penile neurofibroma.
