CT findings of plexiform neurofibromatosis involving the ileum and its mesentery

Abstract

We present a case of plexiform neurofibromatosis involving the ileum and its mesentery. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed a cluster of small soft-tissue density nodules, which represented a cross-sectional image of the enlarged peripheral nerves and wall thickening of the distal ileum. Trapped fat tissue was demonstrated between these enlarged nerves. Histopathologic studies of the resected specimen correlated well with CT findings.
