Abstract

Intrascrotal neurofibromas are extensive tumors that grow from peripheral nerves within the scrotum and are exceedingly rare among the benign extratesticular tumors. Though the risk is low, potential for malignancy and patient discomfort make diagnosis and surgical evaluation imperative. Pediatric neurofibromas are typically only associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. However, herein, we describe a rare case of a benign, intrascrotal plexiform neurofibroma in a 10-year-old male who lacks any stigmata associated with this genetic disorder. Diagnostic and surgical challenges as well as histopathological findings are discussed.
