This case details the diagnosis of neurofibroma from long-standing groin swelling, suggesting the need for thorough investigation in atypical cases.
This case presents the perplexing journey of a 70‐year‐old woman with a decade‐long history of painless, gradually enlarging left‐side groin swelling. Despite initial suspicion of a hernia, the surgical exploration uncovered an unexpected finding: a well‐circumscribed oval mass. Histopathological analysis led to the final diagnosis of neurofibroma. This case sheds light on the importance of thorough investigation in puzzling presentations and provides valuable insights into the clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, investigations, and management of neurofibromas.
