Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disease with high penetrance, affecting 1:3,000 pregnancies. Meningiomas and other benign central nervous system tumors, such as ependymomas, are common features.
CASE: A patient with neurofibromatosis underwent cesarean section due to intrauterine growth restriction and nonreassuring fetal heart rate patterns. Examination of the abdominal cavity and intestines revealed a large (diameter, 12 cm), rubbery, fibrin-coated appendicular mass. The appendix was removed, and pathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of neuroma of the appendix.
CONCLUSION: The case stresses the importance of careful inspection and evaluation of the abdominal cavity during surgery on patients with neurofibromatosis for the detection of possible associated masses.
