Plexiform neurofibroma of the small bowel infiltrated with metastatic adenocarcinoma.
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is not classically associated with gastrointestinal manifestations although these patients are at increased risk of several GI complications. We describe the ultrasound, CT and barium findings in a patient with NF1 who had a huge benign plexiform neurofibroma of the ileum that was infiltrated with metastatic adenocarcinoma.
