title: [Abdominal involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1].
abstract: Neurofibromas are benign tumours that arise from neuroectodermal tissues. They may occur as solitary lesions, or multiple, then referred to as neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen's disease. We report on a 27-year old patient with large involvement of many nerve trunks and plexus (elephantiasis nervosa), responsible for bowel obstruction and anuria.
