Abstract

Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors seen arising both sporadically and in patients with neurofibromatosis syndromes. Commonly they are of three types: localized, diffuse or plexiform. Pigmented neurofibromas are very rare, accounting to <1% of all neurofibromas reported. We present a case of a 64 year old woman with Neurofibromatosis 1, with a large swelling on the right thigh. The mass was grossly pigmented and microscopically diagnosed as pigmented neurofibroma
