title: [Neurofibroma of the palm of the hand in Recklinghausen disease. A case report].
abstract: We present a six-year-old boy with a slowly growing tumor in the palm of the left hand. Sensibility and motor function were normal, neurofibromatosis Recklinghausen had been diagnosed previously. Surgical treatment allowed macroscopically complete neurofibroma resection, but there was inflammatory infiltration of the flexor tendon sheaths and untreatable fibromatosis within the median nerve proximally.
