| Abstract: | Neurofibromas in the small intestine are usually accompanied by von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis), and usually originate in the intramuscular plexus of Auerbach. We present here a solitary neurofibroma, which caused an ileocolic intussusception, originating in the submucosal plexus of Meissner in a non-neurofibromatosis patient. To our knowledge, there is no previous report of a neurofibroma originating in the plexus of Meissner. This condition was clearly confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic evaluation. |
