Pelvic neurofibromas are benign and uncommon retroperitoneal masses. They arise from Schwann cells. One of the morphologic types of this benign tumor is solitary and sporadic and not associated with neurofibromatosis type
Here we discuss a case of pelvic neurofibroma in a 20-year-old male who presented with chronic pelvic pain. He had no positive family history of genetic disorders and, on physical exam, just partly firm mass without mobility in
the hypogastric region was detected. Ultrasound and Computed tomography scan showed pelvic retroperitoneal mass superior to the urinary bladder with extended of the rectovesical pouch and invasion to the posterior wall and dome of the bladder. The patient underwent laparotomy revealing an infiltrative retroperitoneal mass with the invasion of the bladder’s posterior wall, dome, and trigone. Histopathological findings show neurofibroma.
