Abstract: | Inguinal hernias are a common cause of abdominal wall pain and are the most common abdominal wall abnormality. They can usually be differentiated from other abnormalities by history and physical examination. Occasionally, the diagnosis may be difficult with very small or very large lesions. The following case report describes an abdominal wall neurofibroma presenting as an inguinal hernia in a young, active duty, male soldier with previously undiagnosed neurofibromatosis. |
