Gastrointestinal involvement in von Recklinghausen's disease, typically neurofibromas, can rarely present as plexiform neurofibromas. This case highlights extensive mesenteric plexiform neurofibroma on computed tomography.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis type 1) commonly involves the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Gastrointestinal manifestations are typically neurofibromas or leiomyomas.
  • Plexiform neurofibromas are rare in the gastrointestinal tract, usually affecting the bowel wall and myenteric plexus.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of plexiform neurofibroma.
  • The neurofibroma extensively involved the mesentery.
  • Minor involvement of the bowel wall was also observed.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed the extensive mesenteric involvement.
  • The imaging characteristics of this rare presentation were documented.

Related Experiment Videos

  • CT morphology provided insights into the tumor's extent.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of gastrointestinal manifestations in von Recklinghausen's disease.
    • Radiologists should consider plexiform neurofibroma in the differential diagnosis for mesenteric masses in affected patients.
    • Accurate CT interpretation is crucial for surgical planning and patient management.
