Isolated Sacrococcygeal Plexiform Neurofibroma in a Child

Abstract

This case report describes a 4-year-old girl with an isolated neurofibroma in the sacrococcygeal region. Although initially resembling sacrococcygeal teratoma, histopathology revealed a benign nerve sheath tumor. Wide local excision was performed, and the final diagnosis was plexiform neurofibroma. Diagnostic challenges in rare childhood tumors require stepwise evaluation and multidisciplinary team discussions.

Keywords: Plexiform neurofibroma; rare childhood tumor; sacrococcygeal neurofibroma; sacrococcygeal tumor.
