Isolated plexiform neurofibroma mimicking a vascular lesion.

Plexiform neurofibromas are benign tumors originating from peripheral nerve sheaths, generally associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). They are diffuse, painful and sometimes locally invasive, generating cosmetic problems.

Once the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical biopsy, excision of the lesion was performed with improvement of the symptoms.
