Periportal Plexiform Neurofibromatosis (PPNF) is a rare visceral manifestation of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen disease. Neurofibromas are the most common lesions in NF1. We present a case of a young female diagnosed with NF1 who initially presented with hard abdominal mass. Contrast enhanced CT revealed the unusual lintrahepatic periportal plexiform neurofibromatosis in addition to a typical large retroperitoneal lumbar neurofibroma.

Herein, we report an extremely rare case of histopathologically proven neurofibromatosis of the liver. A 15-year-old male, a known case of type I neurofibromatosis (NF1), referred to our hospital with a complaint of right upper quadrant pain. He had a café-au-lait spot and positive family history of NF1 in his mother.

We present a rare case of histologically proven neurofibromatosis of the liver, hepatic hilum, retroperitoneum, and mesentery. An adult male who had been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1 underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan for abdominal pain and vomiting. The CT scan showed a large low-attenuating lesion in the region of porta hepatis which was infiltrating along portal tracts into the liver, encasing the major vessels, and extending into the retroperitoneum and mesentery.

Aim: To describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of plexiform neurofibromas (PNF) involving the liver and pancreas in paediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective search of the hospital database was undertaken to find cases of PNF in the porta hepatis, hilar neurofibroma, and hepatic neurofibroma over a 12 year period. The images were analysed and a review of the charts was undertaken.

Plexiform neurofibroma with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is a very rare entity in children. Here, we present a rather unique case of a 9-year-old boy with no clinical signs or features of neurofibromatosis type 1. A periportal mass lesion was incidentally found after performing an ultrasound in this previously healthy child.
