Summary: | Isolated neurofibromas of the urinary bladder are rare benign tumors typically associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Herein highlights a bladder neurofibroma incidentally discovered during cystoscopy following midurethral sling removal in a 61-year-old woman without NF-1 sequela. Despite malignancy concerns due to smoking history, histology confirmed a benign neurofibroma. These tumors differ from NF-1-associated neurofibromas in origin and presentation; they are rare, often asymptomatic, and likely stem from somatic mutations. Conservative management is preferred, with surgical intervention indicated only for obstructive masses. |
