Neurofibromas, which arise from perineural and Schwann cells, commonly occur throughout the body, but they rarely have been reported to originate from the spermatic cord. The solitary neurofibroma is a localized tumour that, by definition, occurs in patients who do not have von Recklinghausen's disease. Its exact incidence is unknown because of the difficulty in excluding von Recklinghausen's disease in some cases. Leiomyomas, lipomas, fibromas, haemangiomas, and epidermoid cysts have been described as benign tumours of the scrotum, but rarely has an extratesticular solitary neurofibroma of the spermatic cord been reported. We report a case of a solitary neurofibroma arising from the left spermatic cord. No signs of von Recklinghausen's disease were identified.
神经纤维瘤起源于神经周围细胞和施万细胞，通常遍布全身，但很少有报道称其起源于精索。孤立性神经纤维瘤是一种局限性肿瘤，根据定义，发生在没有冯雷克林霍增氏病的患者身上。由于在某些情况下难以排除冯雷克林霍增氏病，其确切发病率尚不清楚。平滑肌瘤、脂肪瘤、纤维瘤、血管瘤和表皮样囊肿已被描述为阴囊的良性肿瘤，但很少有精索睾丸外孤立性神经纤维瘤的报道。我们报告一例起源于左侧精索的孤立性神经纤维瘤病例。未发现冯雷克林霍增氏病的迹象。
