To report the second case of solitary neurofibroma arising from the tunica albuginea in the literature and to show its imaging findings.
METHODS/RESULTS: We present a case of neurofibroma arising from the tunica albuginea in an adult patient not affected by neurofibromatosis. We describe the ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and the histopathological characteristics along with a brief bibliographic review.
MRI may be useful to characterize paratesticular lesions. Neurofibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis when MRI depicts a well-circunscribed tumour with high-signal intensity on T2 and marked enhancement after gadolinium administration.
报道文献中第二例起源于白膜的孤立性神经纤维瘤病例,并展示其影像学表现。
方法/结果:我们报告一例起源于白膜的神经纤维瘤病例,患者为成年男性,无神经纤维瘤病。我们描述了超声和磁共振成像(MRI)特征、组织病理学特征,并进行了简要的文献回顾。
MRI 有助于明确睾丸旁病变的特征。当 MRI 显示边界清晰的肿瘤,T2 加权像呈高信号,钆剂注射后明显强化时,神经纤维瘤应纳入鉴别诊断。
