[Neurofibroma plexiforme of the small pelvis: a case report].
There are reports of rare cases of nerve tissue tumors of the small bowel, ovary, urinary bladder or retroperitoneal space. We report a case of neurofibroma plexiforme of pelvis minoris in 42-year-old woman. The first diagnosis was adnexal tumor. Laparotomy was performed and a big, solid tumor of left parametrium was found. The histology of the tumor was described as neurofibroma plexiforme. There was also an inflammatory tumor of appendix involving right Fallopian tube. The described by other authors cases suggest, that diagnosis of nerve tissue tumors in pelvis minoris is very difficult. Surgery is an adequate way of final diagnosis and management.
