Abstract:
Urogenital involvement in neurofibromatosis is extremely rare and thus is less documented. Herein, we discuss a 11-year-old boy who was referred with a diagnosis of neurofibroma bladder on bilateral flank ureterostomy with mild renal failure. A diagnosis of neurofibroma of the bladder with ureterohydronephrosis had been made and partial excision had been attempted, followed by bilateral ureterostomy because of increasing ureterohydronephrosis. He was 13 years and wanted to be dry as he wanted to go to school. With the plan of attaining dryness with stable upper tracts, he was posted for surgery. Near-total excision followed by a sigmoid conduit was performed. The biopsy was reported as plexiform neurofibroma and is on regular follow-up, dry on a stoma bag with stable renal parameters.
