Dr. Kiran Gaikwad, Dr. Dnyanesh M. Belekar, Dr. Ganesh Sonawane

Abstract :

Plexiform neurofiomas represent an uncommon variant of neurofiomatosis type 1 (NF–1) in which neurofiomas arise from multiple nerves as bulging and deforming masses involving also connective tissue and skin folds. The treatment is usually surgical if it is interfering with daily work. A case of solitary swelling over right forearm on anterio–lateral aspect extending to wrist in skin & subcutaneous plane clinically diagnosed as lipoma turned out to be plexiform neurofioma. Plexiform neurifiomas are type of Neurofiomatosis Type1. Here we present a similar case of forearm Neurofioma associated with restricted daily activity which needed surgical intervention.
