A Rare Case Report
Keywords:
Extratesticular, Neurofibroma, Intrascrotal
Abstract
Solitary neurofibroma of the scrotum is an extremely rare benign tumor, particularly when it is not associated with neurofibromatosis type I. To the best of our knowledge, less than 10 cases have been reported in the English literature. We report a case of 77 year old male who presented with large right scrotal mass which was surgically excised and after histopathological examination diagnosis of intrascrotal extratesticular neurofibroma with degenerative atypia was made.References
