Abstract
The diffuse neurofibroma is a rare but particular form of neurofibroma, mainly occurring in children and young adults. About 10% of patients with diffuse neurofibroma have neurofibromatosis type 1. Due to its rare association with neurofibromatosis, it is a rare and difficult diagnosis. Its imaging appearance is very similar to that of a vascular malformation, and it is often misdiagnosed until pathological study proves otherwise. We report the case of a 48-year-old patient who complained a mass in the right supraclavicular region, with imaging suggesting a hemangiopericytoma. However, it was later found to be a diffuse neurofibroma.
