Abstract:
Neurofibromatosis is a relatively common genetic disorder of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Benign or malignant tumours may occur in different organs. Visceral tumours arising in the neural plexus of the intestinal wall may cause ulceration, bleeding, obstruction, perforation and palpable abdominal masses. In this paper a case of chronic anaemia due to a chronically bleeding intestinal neurofibroma is presented in a woman who had undergone intestinal resection. Histopathological analysis showed a neurofibroma with malignant transformation and a liver metastasis.

Anatomy of the Intestines
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
Bacterial Transformation
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
Transformers
The iron core has a substantial relative permeability. Therefore, the magnetic field lines generated due to the current in one winding are almost entirely confined within the core, such that the same magnetic flux permeates each turn of both...
Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three main sections - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum, approximately 25 cm long, is nearest the stomach. It acts as a 'mixing bowl,' where chyme (partially digested food) blends with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver. The duodenum's unique...
Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
