An isolated case of an incidentally discovered neurofibroma of the urinary bladder

Neurofibromas of the bladder are extremely rare tumors formed in peripheral nerves and are generally considered to occur in-conjunction with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). The following is an isolated case of a 19-year-old, asymptomatic male patient presenting with bladder tumor discovered incidentally on CT-scan. The patient had no known family history or any exam findings consistent with NF-1. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the tumor and pathologic analysis confirmed the final diagnosis of neurofibroma of the bladder. The patient's course, procedure and treatment are reported.
