Malignant neurofibroma of the urinary bladder

Eur Urol. 1995;27(3):261-3. doi: 10.1159/000475174.

Abstract

We report a case of a large malignant neurofibroma of the urinary bladder occurring in a 33-year-old patient with Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. Urologic manifestations of neurofibromatosis are infrequent; a neurofibroma of the bladder with malignant degeneration is an extreme rarity. To date only 3 cases have been described in the literature.
