Case report: imaging of widespread plexiform neurofibromatosis.
Although the cutaneous, bony and retroperitoneal appearances of peripheral von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis are well known, involvement of intra-abdominal organs and of the mediastinum is less well recognised. We present the case of a woman with peripheral neurofibromatosis who presented with loin pain. In addition to cutaneous neurofibromas, plexiform neurofibromas were present in the mediastinum, liver, mesentery and psoas muscles.
