Abstract:
In a 36-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1, rare colonic involvement of plexiform neurofibroma is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by operation. Radiologic findings consisted of marked concentric thickening of the colonic wall with variable attenuation, namely, a "multilayer appearance," as well as clusters of multiple soft tissue nodules in the mesentery.
