Neurofibromatosis, a group of genetic disorders, can cause tumors to grow on nerves. This case highlights a rare instance of a large mesenteric neurofibroma causing an abdominal mass and diarrhea in an adult male.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Neurofibromatosis (NF) comprises heterogeneous, multisystemic neurocutaneous disorders.
  • Clinical manifestations of NF are diverse, depending on the affected organ system.

Observation:

  • A middle-aged male presented with a rapidly growing abdominal mass in the hypogastric and right inguinal regions.
  • The mass was associated with symptoms of diarrhea.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy revealed a large, solid mass in the lower mesentery with adhered small intestine loops.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass to be a mesenteric neurofibroma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for neurofibromas to develop in the mesentery, presenting as abdominal masses.
