Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: The isolated presence of neurofibromatous lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, with no associated systemic syndromes, is a rarely reported clinical entity.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 48-year-old lady, with no history of neurofibromatosis or other systemic disease, presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to an ileo-ileal intussusception induced by an isolated ileal neurofibromatous mass. The patient underwent a segmental enterectomy and after a smooth recovery, she was put on a long-term follow-up schedule.
DISCUSSION: This article presents a review of the literature of this area clinical entity. Very few reports of gastrointestinal isolated neurofibromas could be found. Similarly, extra-digestive isolated lesions have been rarely reported.
CONCLUSION: Isolated ileal neurofibroma is a rare pathological entity. The clinical significance of such a diagnosis lies mainly in the need of further follow up of these patients as the bowel involvement could be the first manifestation of neurofibromatosis type 1 or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b.
