Abstract

|
A neurofibroma of the gastrointestinal tract is frequently associated with type 1 neurofibromatosis. A solitary neurofibroma, which refers to a localized neurofibroma occurring in patients without stigmata of neurofibromatosis, can rarely occur in the stomach. The majority of neurofibromas of the stomach remain small and asymptomatic, and are usually found incidentally. Surgical resection is required for symptomatic relief and for confirmation of the diagnosis. Herein, the case of a 68-year-old woman found to have a solitary neurofibroma in the angle of stomach is reported. The patient underwent a laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy, with a gastroduodenostomy. The gross, microscopic and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with the diagnosis of a neurofibroma of the stomach.
