Description
Summary:Literature related to neurofibroma involving the genitourinary system in a patient with systemic neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1) is very few. The reported cases further decline in number when it comes to primary neurofibroma of the urinary bladder without signs of NF-1. Here, we report one such case of a 41-year-old gentleman with large bladder mass, presented to us with complaints of obstructive and voiding urinary symptoms with an episode of hematuria. Related imagines were done, and the patient underwent trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry examinations were suggestive of neurofibroma. No recurrence in 6 months of follow-up.
