Endoscopic presentation is variable and does not significantly influence outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Plexiform schwannoma is a rare benign tumor that usually appears in young adults, affecting areas like the trunk, head, neck, and extremities, and is typically under 2 cm in size.
- * The tumor is characterized by a plexiform growth pattern and multinodularity, which can make it look similar to plexiform neurofibroma, a tumor with higher risks of recurrence and malignancy.
- * A case study discusses a 14-year-old girl with an 11 cm mass on her foot that was diagnosed as plexiform schwannoma through histological evaluation and strong S-100 immunostaining.

To the best of our knowledge, only a couple of cases of neurofibroma in children have been documented. Here, we report a case study of a 17-year-old boy who had a giant scrotal lump for ten years masquerading clinically as filariasis.
