title: Neurofibroma of the clitoris. A case report.
abstract: We report an unusual case of clitoral hypertrophy due to neurofibromatosis of the external genitalia. Because of no definite skin signs or other nervous or osseous symptoms such as are commonly found in neurofibromatosis, the patient was at first suspected of being a case of hermaphroditism. Finally, the disorder was properly diagnosed after laparotomy followed by clitorectomy. This patient seems to be the 12th case of clitoral neurofibroma reported in the English literature.
