Özet

Neurofibroma is a common form of benign peripheral nerve sheath neoplasms. Neurofibromas can be seen multiple or as a solitary tumor. We present a case of solitary neurofibroma located in retroperitoneum without von Recklinghausen's disease. A 38-year-old female, suffering from abdominal pain is presented. Ultrasonography and computerized tomography revealed a retroperitoneal mass. Complete resection was performed. Histopathological evidences were consistent with neurofibroma. After an uneventful recovery; six-month follow-up computerized tomography scan revealed no signs of relapse, residue tumor or any mass. Retroperitoneal localization of solitary neurofibroma, is an extremely rare entity. Our case represents a unilateral, symptomatic neurofibroma located in the retroperitoneum, which is treated surgically with success. © 2014 Turkish Society for Radiation Oncology.
