Neurofibromas are uncommon benign tumours and are still rarer in intramuscular locations. They are not detected until they cause a significant damage to the neighbouring tissues. We present a case of a giant intramuscular myxoid neurofibroma of the left forearm which eroded the radius and ulna, restricting the movements at the elbow and wrist joints and causing wrist drop resulting in an above elbow amputation. It was diagnosed by histopathology and was later confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
神经纤维瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，而发生于肌肉内的神经纤维瘤则更为罕见。直到它们对周围组织造成严重损害时才会被发现。我们报告一例左前臂巨大肌内黏液性神经纤维瘤病例，该肿瘤侵蚀了桡骨和尺骨，限制了肘关节和腕关节的活动，并导致腕下垂，最终进行了肘关节以上截肢。通过组织病理学确诊，随后经免疫组织化学证实。
